pspears Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 I got my new equinox 600 in and noticed the armrest strap is too short to make it back to the velcro. Basically it hits the velcro but only maybe a 1/2 inch. Anyone else with this issue and what did you do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm S Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 You must have big arms, my velcro goes from one side to the other.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm S Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Did you slide the one end of the velcro through the arm cuff till it hit the stop on the velcro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am much like yourself the arm cuff strap is too short with my arm in to latch onto the velcro strip, I found an answer which suited a fit to my large muscle bound arms and that is to thread the cuff strap from one side of the arm rest cup across to the cuff strap slot on the opposite side but instead of folding the strap over to meet the velcro just use a small brass or stainless steel screw and thread it in between the small opened side of the hem of the strap end and you will find that the strap will not pull back through the arm cup strap slot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I reached out to minelab and they confirmed it was not a defect and do not have any longer. I guess I can modify this one with some sewing.

I believe I can just extend the soft side of the velcro a few inches and should be fine. Minelab confirmed I got the correct length but they don't have another length available. Thanks guys for your thoughts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belgy1972 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 I must be honest i find the same problem with the 800. Yes I have big arms and I couldn't get it to reach back to the velcro. Easy fix though as i just bought a piece from a local sewing shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
