Title: Any constructive ideas..please Post by: dingdong on September 21, 2016, 06:28:21 PM Hi to all, I wonder if anyone out there can come up with any constructive ideas on how I can replace a quite well worn 'sponge' handle on my MACRO RACER detector.
I've been in touch with the manufacturers and they say have never heard of anybody wanting to replace the spring hand grip,and that it's fitted prior to assembly. I've had a word with great guy Nigel at Regtons,and he says hat actually trying to replace it does involve deconstruction of the assembly,lots a wires etc !!....YUK !!!so I don't capable of that !!...SO..does anyone have any ideas on how I can replace this handle. The reason why it needs replacing is i I've a harness and the constant too and frowing has caused the rubber to perish and it's now time to replace it...many thanks for looking..👍 Title: Re: Any constructive ideas..please Post by: Da Monkey on September 21, 2016, 06:32:55 PM Buy some Vet Wrap (used for animal injuries)) and try that over the top...

Actually perhaps I could develop a hardy comfortable universal handle replacement to suit most metal detectors !!...watch out for me on "Dragons Den ".... LOL...😁...thanks fellas !!.👍 Title: Re: Any constructive ideas..please Post by: Napoleon on September 23, 2016, 08:19:15 AM Ur welcome Sir its just a idea and you can buy the foam from £ land ;D if you decide to make that project please post some picture .

Title: Re: Any constructive ideas..please Post by: dingdong on September 23, 2016, 06:29:58 PM Hi Napoleon(Nap)...also..SIR .. LOL,a quick update , I went onto AMAZON and found some sort of tape which is used for wrapping around the handle bars of bikes.
Just ordered it, apparently it's some kind of rubberised cushioned tape , ???, anyway thanks for giving me the ideas guys,and I will certainly post some pictures,and give a report on how it actually preforms ....👍 |
