Here is a fix for the Equinox shaft twist problem as well as an upgraded Arm Rest.
1 - Parts - 2 high quality double spring clips to replace the cheap single Minelab spring clips (shown) & 15/64 metal drill bit
Twist Fix Procedure:
- Disassemble the shaft & remove the 2 cheap single spring clips
- Drill an opposing hole (use the existing holes as a guide) in the location/position where the length is correct for you
- Install the 2 high quality double spring clips in the shaft (per photo), re-assemble & tighten the knurl knobs
- Done/Twist problem solved
Arm Rest
I purchased an X-Terra Arm Rest to replace the one supplied on the Equinox. perfect fit (just remove the supplied one & replace), metal/black powder coated. Don't know why Minelab didn't use this Arm Rest in the first place!
