cheap replacement bolt and nut for garrett 'tectors

[gordygroover]

Gave a good bump to my coil on Monday and sheared the nylon bolt that connects the coil to the shaft fittings of my Ace. Being only a couple blocks from Lowes I headed there and gave a look in the hardware section. Found nothing that would come close to working but bumped into a store employee (rarest find of the day for big box stores ) and I was drected to the Plumbing section.
SCORE!!!! They have exact clones to the factory nut and bolts that come with the Ace units (possibly all Garretts maybe). \
A plastic pack of TWO nut and bolts set me back a whopping $1.69.
Just thought you folks would like to know.

Yeah those work great. Thanks for sharing. Garrett's would have sent you replacement coil nut&bolt hardware for free if you just call and ask.
Happy Hunting!

The middle of a hunt is no time to make a phone call and wait by the mail box. For a little over a buck fifty I figured all us garret users could benefit from a heads up on how to keep there machines working and have the needed tools on hand for a instant "in the field" problem fix.

[size=large]it's great if garrett will do that but i agree with gordygroover. ya gotta hunt now. besides unless it's a 800 number it cost more to call than to visit lowes.
thanks to both for the info.

Yeah those are handy and available. Use them myself and carry some for spares.
