[QUOTE="namesake, post: 100972, member: 3373"] I wanted to say thanks to Lazy Trommel for all of your posts in this forum, they have provided me with the information to mod my F1A4 I did the GPX plug change, mounted the PM Coil Scarab, removed the speaker and installed a speaker jack ( using the speaker wires). I just cut and left the other wires there from the standard plug. The speaker I got for a bargain last week at Harvey Norman for $9. It is self powered and VERY loud. Works a treat. I though about making the momentary GB button, but the one that I purchased probably won't go into the grip without some serious effort. I tried a few times to replug ( bridging) the standard coil only to find that when I got it done that all of the wire was crooked and would not fit inside the plug.. A job for tomorrow I think. The only other problem is to fix the coil mount ( the black piece) is broken on one side inside the shaft and the extra weight of the coil makes it hang crooked. I am not sure if they can be removed from the shaft? Finally I raced down to the park for a quick 5 min swing, I am loving the extra coverage of this coil, these seems to enough for a angle at the front to pinpoint a target. The Scarab seems to have a little more depth than the standard coil in the air test, but this was subject to a lot of EMI (out the front of my house). Should get a good run with it tomorrow.
