Bl**dy Handle Keeps Breaking
Hi All,
I have a GP Extreme. I have done the old Button Mod to it. However the handle has broken (split) for the second time. Split parallel with the shaft across the LHS. I am contemplating cutting two x 2mm aluminium plates and using epoxy to fix them to the plastic - 1 each side, then using longer bolts to hold it all together.
The question is - do you think the aluminium will interfere with the detector?
Cheers.

I used a aluminium block had it drilled to the shaft size and shaped to the same shape as a m/l with 2 alan key bolts to clamp it together and the handle welded on if you look at some of the old post you should find photo s tried to post again but go good hope it works out OK regards john

Good work- That looks solid.
I have the balance button mod so will have to accommodate that. I have access to a lathe so may knock up something similar.

Thirsty Miner the balance button is no problems just drill a hole in the bottom of the handle big enough for the plug to go through , at the top I just used a plastic top out of a bottle it fitted in to the tubing perfect and just made a hole the same size as the button that was on a 3500 regards john
