Chest mount kit for MXT

Sorry, Rudy, there isn't one available. But it wouldn't be overly difficult to fashion one from the right parts. White's sells an upper rod arm assembly, with cup, and the extension cable; then all you would need to do would be to affix a belt clip, and d-rings (for waist strap) and then you've got it. HH jim

Jim-
Would that be the 'kit' for the XLT etc? I don't see just the rod with handle or an extension cord other than one for early models- some 1988 and before.
In one place the kit says DFX --wouldn't that be the same for the MXT ? ( looks like it might be a mistake, tho).
I'd like to see a hip mounted battery pack- that could be easier to do and still lose a good deal of the case weight.

this is the reply I received back:
"Thank you for e-mailing us at Whites Electronics
You can use the SL kit 802-5259 for $49.95
You would have to drill two holes for the bracket.That hip mount kit is the
only one that will fit at this time.
Hope this helps."

I have a square bag that my MXT fits in. It has a strap that goes around my waist and a strap that goes over my shoulder. The bag rests on my left hip and the display sticks up out of the bag so that I can see it . I can hold on to the grip with the trigger with my left hand. I got a 5'coil cable extension from Whites and I have an arm cuff and upper "S" handle from another detector. This makes for a great combination. Whites needs to look at this. It would be very easy for them to make and sell for the MXT.

Buy the stock kit, as mentioned, and modify it, as needed.

The bag that I used was from a back-pack that was held on to the back pack by velcro. It was on the bottom of the back-pack. It is insulated and has a water proof lining with a zipper top. It is rectangular in shape and about 6" deep. The top zips all the way around, so that it can be zipped up and only the display and hand grip with the trigger sticking out. The coil cable and head phone cable comes out of the front where the display sticks up. It also keeps the moisture and dirt out of the control box. When I get back from vacation next week. I will try to get some pictures to post of it.
