705 Coil Ear Repair- Link To My DIY

[vanursepaul]

Hey y'all-------this is the link to a bunch of pictures and one video of the coil repair----

It isnt the prettiest job but it will hold up now!

We used a piece of a PVC gutter downspout my buddy found while we were prowling thru the hardware store trying to find something that would work and hold glue--(Thanks for the tip on nylon--)

Anyway, once we finally found that piece it was pretty simple,,,if you lived in a bigger town you may be able to find standard PVC L-brackets and that would save a few steps!

Total cost was about 12.00 usd..... plus the fun we had making it...lolol---- (Grumpy Old Men)

Thanks again for all your alls help in this 705 adventure!!!!

Paul

Nice job on the coil repair. Im waiting for my gb2 to break there, i use it as a rake shovel,and hoe sometimes, they are pretty tough though.

 How 'bout a quick squirt of black paint?

[vanursepaul]

Definitely No paint.... I want to remember, every time I am looking at my coil, not to use it for a walking stick!!!

I got my 3Khz fixed the other day--so both the 7.5 and the 3 concentrics will last longer than the shaft now...

The elliptical has a different mount and looks like it will hold up....

Will update when appropriate....

Nice job, got a 7.5 coil with the same condition.Was thinking of using some fiberglass to repair it, your way would be faster.

What a great way to fix your coil's bracket!

All the best,
