Dilek read this...Lower pole coil washer material maybe too hard

[Finder82]

The rubber washers material are maybe too hard, because the coil tends to tilt very easy, despite tightening the bolt.

Could you make the washers from a softer rubber, so they could offer a more secure grip?

Let me share it with my team but could you do me a favor and email the comment to me? There are many posts of the forum so it is not easy to find it again when I want to refer back to it.

Dilek, I appreciate you monitoring some of the posts on this Forum, especially since ([size=small]my guess since I don't know Turkey's time zone)[/size] you posted this response at about 11:30 PM on a Sunday. Most manufacturers personnel would be sound asleep by then.

And a favor for anyone who thinks they have some sort of a specific design issue or problems. PLEASE, don't clutter the Forum with these tidbits. Contact you Dealer, or do as Dilek requested and shoot an e-mail directly to her and the Nokta/Makro factory team.


Now, to some of the topics we have seen on the forum:

I have not had a single search coil issue from any of them. Three for my FORS CoRe and four for my Racer.

With 4 Racer coils, and switching mainly 3 of them around until I get coils on their own lower rods, I have NOT had a single issue with the washer/spacer they supplied, and I haven't had a real problem with coils canting or flopping when in use. Yes, I can bump them on something and they move out of alignment, but that's normal. Somebody bump me and I can guarantee with my bad back and balance I would get knocked out of alignment in a hurry, too.

They all snug up sufficiently for me, and at least the Makro/Nokta group outfit their detectors with washer/spacer components compared with the Bounty Hunter/Fisher/Teknetics models that come WITHOUT any washer/spacer and we are told to just snug the bolt up with only the rod between the coil's dog-ears.

And so far, with many coil exchanges, there hasn't been a broken coil bolt, either. I will say, and have said, that I prefer the levered bolt and nut supplied with the Nokta FORS CoRe to those with the Racer, but I still haven't had a problem.

Again,

Thanks' Dilek, for addressing issues ... on YOUR time.

From my forum, i have heard one of these hollow coil bolts have snapped from overtightening. As you said Monte, maybe the levered bolts are more robust, than the hollow ones supplied with the Makro racer.
