It's a great idea, 3d printing would look better than spraying it for sure ( and it's all for looks) but I think I will go the spray paint route. Cheap has a certain ring to it ;)
 
Hi Mineallmine

Another option is food colouring let it soak it in a container with the food Or dye colouring and water for a few days and itll stay like it for years and Bobs ya Aunty all done you can get some great Colours..
 
Hi all,

I bought an equinox 600 a few weeks ago and have been slowly trying to work it all out. I have taken it out a few time for a swing and I am slowly getting used to it. My question is do I need/should I have ear stiffeners to stop the ears braking off the coil or is this unnecessary.

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Is this what you mean?
 
I've been using mine as a brush cutter for almost 2 years and haven't had any problems with the coil ears, just my shaft getting a bit floppy :awful: but a bit of sikaflex in the joint sorted that out.

Thanks for the helpful information :D
 
I use ear stiffeners on my Nox as a precaution because I normally find a way of breaking things.

P.S. - Got rid of my floppy shaft some time ago and replaced it with a Detect-Ed one - no more shaftile dysfunction for me!

Also the Detect Ed carbon shaft doesn't require the stiffeners due to the wider coil mount, simply re-uses the stock rubber bushes. To be honest the Nox coil ears are pretty thin, especially when compared to those on my Deus. I suspect mainly due to Minelab trying to keep the overall weight of the detector down (every little bit counts).

Yer thanks. I have been contemplating an up grade to the Detect Ed carbon shaft. Might wait and see how long I get out of the stock shaft first.

Could it be Coiltek are now making coils for the Nox lineup?

Think you might be onto something there.

Just rang Miners Den in Bendigo - they know of them, but know nothing about them - haven't heard if and when they'll get them, and don't know what prices might be.

Reckon once they get some, they'll be up on the Miners Den website.

A strange industry.
