Gold Bug SE Washer

[SLATE]

Hello all...... Got my Gold Bug SE last week, but the little washer to go with the coil was not shipped with it. It says to use it with the 5 inch coil but not to with the 11 inch coil.
Was wondering can I use any rubber or plastic washer?...... And what is its use on the 5"and not the 11"? Is it a spacer?
Thanks for any and all replys

Andrew,

You can use any rubber or plastic washer...it's just a spacer so the small coil will be able to sit tight.

Thanks JC .... Thats what I was thinking, but always good to get another thought on it.

Mine didnt have one in the box when opened with 5" coil. I had a spare. I would think the 11" would take one on ea. side. My 11" will be here tomorrow. Try to get from the Depot.

I don't know what it is, buut mine didn't come with the washer either. I guess there is a lack of quality control when they get shipped out? Such a small detail, but the washer is really important to keep the coil in place and from flopping up and down. I use a washer with my 11 inch coil too.

...it was not already installed on the rod also. I had one that shipped with it in the rod.

Hi Azsh, you mean the washer was inside one of the rods? I didn't look inside the rod for mine. I'll have to check. They sent me a washer after re-calibrating mine.

Seems to hold fine without washers on the 11" I got today.
