Rubber boot on the Racer trigger. When did that happen?

[JASONSPAZ1]

I remember when Makro was asking forum users for input, I asked if they would consider a rubber boot on the pinpoint and GB trigger. Well I just noticed on some RACER user videos that some Racer's have the trigger boot.
When did Makro introduce that? Also when I get a Racer I want to ensure that the version I am getting has the trigger boot and the improved coil ears. I assume that both these enhancements are on a revised edition of a Racer?

Thanks in advance

Don't know if a rubber boot is going to be any better I like it the way it is now

I got my first Racer in May and it has the trigger boot.

I think some of them came with it and it comes off. Mine had one and it just came off. I'm well into my third set of batteries, so somewhere in a good 100+ hours of usage the boot came off.

How to get that replaced?

First trigger boot I saw on a Racer was Feb. 2015 someone on a Forum in Ozzie land had made and fitted one as the Racer is often used successfully for Gold prospecting in some very dry and dusty locations.
Boot is still there a new pic show it was used on a Oz Gold field this month Sept.2015.
If links were permitted I would place one.

I asked makrodetectors.com by email and they said that there is no diffrence between the racer with rubber boot vs. without.

That is no true. Toggle switch isn't dust proof without it...you can easy buy rubber boot in electronic store.

I meant no difference in performance or circuit.
