Called Arturo when it came in Tuesday and apparently he didn't ship it out thinking I had just ordered a coil. It will be "processed" shortly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryinHawaii Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 If they had made both coils mounting the same. There would be no problem. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Beechnut OBN Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Congrads on the new coil! When they first sent me one to test last fall they sent it with out the lower rod also. I was a little puzzled at first....I notified them of the problem and they were very fast in getting one out to me.. Mistakes happen..... More then once looks like. Having the 8 inch coil and not being able to use it right away ..... I grabbed one of my Xtra Excalibur lower shafts and took off about 1/32th of a inch on each side. Fit perfect... Enjoy that 8 inch.. And keep us informed on how it works. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvr Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 My new 8 inch came assembled with lower rod. As it came, the cable comes out behind the shaft, not in front like with the 15 inch coil. Wondering if that was an assembly mistake or intended with the smaller coil. I like the new cable clips, but there are only two on a shaft. I think there should be four on each shaft. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are tall people detecting on their knees? Is there a cable shortage? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dewcon4414 Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 TVR.... are you sure about the cable going on the back? It appears both could ..... we used to do that with the DFX coils. But.... that cross over that aids in PP looks to go in the front. Maybe im wrong. Dang Bob, its been an ordeal for you the last year or so with equipment. Let me know how that 8" works. A lot of PIs used to come with those 8" coils for water hunting. Id still prefer a 9 or 10" one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
