Easy fix for a floppy coil........

Go to your local hardware store (I had them on hand)and purchase a couple of "model# 409 15/16" cut off wheels" for a Dremel tool and carefully drill out the center just larger than the plastic bolt that holds the coil on. Remove the two rubber washers between the yoke and yoke bracket. Place one cut off wheel on each side between the yoke and yoke bracket. If the fit is too tight then use only one cut off wheel. It doesn't take much tightening of the plastic bolt to hold the coil securely in place as the cut off wheel is like fine sandpaper on each side and grips firmly. If the bolt is not tightened too tight, you will be able to swivel the coil just the way you want and it will stay in place. I like mine this way as sometimes I like to fold the coil over for storage. I prefer this to a stiff bracket that holds the coil firmly in place in one position.
