  Has anyone else had a problem with the 'lugs' (which hold the handle bolt) breaking on a Minelab coil?
   I really like using the small 18.5 eliptical coil on my 705 as it is so light,but now it is useless. Cry
    Any ideas on fixing it appreciated.Such a shame as the coil itself is working fine.
    Thanks. Mrs.S. Smiley

Good Morning Mrs S. Smiley

Someone else had the same problem a few months ago but I can't remember who.  If you've got the bit that broke off I believe it's poss to mend and reinforce it.

Maybe whoever it was will see you post and advise.

The same thing happened to me a few years ago. I fixed it with a small fibreglass repair kit from a car accessories shop. It wasn't particularly pretty but it did the job.

Glad you got it sorted.  There's something very comforting to know there are still 'nice' people around.  Smiley

If anybody else has this problem use some pvc sheet and make sure you use the solvent cement/glue that plumbers use on plastic pipe from a diy store. "Welds" the plastic together.

                                I hope that I never need to use the diy advice given but greatly apreciate the information. This forum is a mine of good advice and information!  Wink
