Home made harness?

[dont know nutin]

I want a harness for my Safari but they get way too much $$$$ for the ones I find on line. Has anyone made their own harness and if so what did you use and what did the materials cost you? THANKS!

I don't know about the Safari but, I made my own hardness for a Fisher cz-6a. I use a strap off a guitar case (it has the clips on each end), I attach a

carabiner on one end, (that I attach to my belt in the back) I then bring the strap over my right shoulder. Attached to the other end of the strap is a short

bungie cord. Here, I'm sure, is where the difference lie in the design of the machines. On the back of the cz-6a, is a metal plate with two slots cut

into it that a belt is fed through when it is hip mounted. I just attached the free end of the bungie cord to the left slot (on the back of the cz-6a), crimped it

shut and wrapped it to keep it from scratching the casing. I shortened the strap so that the coil just does touch the ground. Hence hours of detecting

with very little weight and strain. Looking at the pictures of the the Safari, I think that I would make a loop (circle / two ends tied) of cord ( a little

experimenting will come into play to get the correct length) -- take it and wrap it around the shaft (either before the hand grip or behind your hand by the

forearm rest) take one loop and stick it though the other loop--so that it clinches tight with only one loop left sticking out. Hook the end of the bungie

cord to the loop. Be sure to use a strap that has the adjustment link in it so the length is adjustable. I don't know if it will work for you, but my

cz-6a, with a 8" coil, after about an hour, feels like it weights ten pounds. Just something to throw in the pot. Good Luck. Peace-out
