mn90403 Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 7 hours ago, midalake said: I like my coil ears locked down TIGHT! Do you ever adjust the angle? When I did that with the 3030 one side of the eye broke out with the screw and bolt. If I made it a bit less tight it would slide but not damage the ears. The replacement for ears I found at the time was not any glue or epoxy that worked but a separate yoke for the end of the shaft and then attach that system to the coil with tie straps. Minelab was not giving out a replacement coil for the 3030s. The 17" still works with the aftermarket materials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bklein Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 I just make shims out of 1 gallon milk containers. I also make my own replacement U channels out of pvc pipe when the originals break. Even one I made broke.... It’s from side pressure when I accidentally use it as a support when I’m digging the target hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PimentoUK Posted July 30, 2023 Author Share Posted July 30, 2023 One more way of cheaply obtaining some of this PTFE/glass sheet: Air fryers are now very popular, and there are liner sheets for the innards of these being made, including by the previously-mentioned Toastabags brand. An example: Air fryer liner You may find these in local stores, or searching eBay etc for: "air fryer liner"; "air fryer PTFE" should turn up the right product. Clearly they are riddled with holes .... but with some skillful cutting, you should be able to make the washers OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
