Carbon Fiber Shaft For Explorer 2


lowtone

Recommended Posts

Before I got a Sovereign and Equinox my go to detector was the Explorer 2. It is a little heavy for a 3-4 hour Beach hunt. This mod made it a little lighter. I also switched the 11" Smart coil to the  NeL Superfly coil. I had an old Anderson shaft that was not being used with an Outside Diameter of .875 . You will be using  parts from the stock shaft. Be Aware doing this mod will render the stock shaft useless. Use a heat gun to remove the lower portion of stock shaft, then use a hack saw and cut the upper stock shaft cam lock off. You will need to determine the length you will need for your swing. Same for the carbon shaft.  Use Epoxy to glue the lower portion to the carbon fiber shaft.

Good idea, I took mine one step further and did a chest mount setup. I disabled the speaker and added a quarter inch headphone jack. The battery pack is a 3000mah lithium ion setup. I can swing this bad boy for hours at a time.

I would like to try a chest mount mod for the Explorer, I have started a couple times ,But chicken out.

I need to do more research.

This is where I started and revised as I went, I've done 4 so far. First one was a little rough 🙂    The problem your going to have is finding the 3' extension cable. Coiltek quit making them and I'm not sure of any other company making the extension cables.
