Hello Scrap hunter. Did you fit the bolt and wing nut and washers that came with the coil? The washers have four tangs on one side this goes towards the centre of the shaft from each side. You have to use these washers to remove the side play of the coil and the shaft. You also have to use the bolt and wing nut that coiltek supplies, the minelab bolt won

You can get a rubber washer, can't remember but I think it's Coiltek made. It's very thin, if you've got an old inner tube or that kind of thing you can make one. Add that before you put the lower stem with the washers in the coil. It's pretty tight to get it all together. Once you've done that you won't have any more hassle.
