Chase Goldman Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 Yeah. That Nokta CF lower is the ticket to be able to use the existing OEM shaft/stem system. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPT_GhostLight Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 Copy that! I got the CF lower when I got my D2 even though the 9" coil didn't need it. It sure tightened everything up and it's rock solid now, so I don't expect any flex with the 13" on it. That CF lower shaft should be supplied by XP with every 11" and 13" coil IMHO! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think XP makes any CF accessories or products, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got gold at the smallest in the spring. May expand my area to two hours away, but better to go with someone. I'm headed to some pretty big beach spots next year. I was considering a large coil for my Equinox, but because this is only a few ounces heavier than the 11" I think it's the best alternative albeit pricey. Around here it probably won't give me any advantage at all. If they come out with a 10x5, I'm in tho! Don’t waste your time coming to Virginia Beach, it’s hunted out 🤣 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for making me spend more money on my addiction! Just ordered one of those shafts. If I’m remembering correctly isn’t there a spacer needed where the coil attaches? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, see this thread: https://www.detectorprospector.com/forums/topic/20113-bushing-for-carbon-fiber-lower-shaft-on-deus-ii/#comment-215702 You're going to have to sand or grind the sides of the attachment end (yoke) to make a good fit, and allow the bolt through. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, but since the Simplex CF lower shaft (which was probably made in China) fits in the D2's upper shaft, how hard would it be for XP to access some of those CF tubes from China and put their own coil mount ends on it? Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
