Hi all
i just wanted to share this with you, i priced a coil cover for a fisher f5 and between postage
and payment, all worked out to almost 30 quid. well to hell with that for a bit of plastic. been doing
a bit of plumbing lately at home, and it struck me that this left over black plastic tubing would fit
the bill nicely, very flexible and easy to slit with a sharp Stanley knife, and it fits lovely around
the coil. fixed with some cable ties and away you go cut to suit any coil and also protects against
knocks and bumps.

What about the fins on a piece of sharp flint.

But a good idea if on pasture .

well done.

well i suppose you could cut shorter pieces for the fins. the last day i was out while on stubble
ground i was very concise of the coil getting battered from the ruff ground, and this has defiantly
helped in this case.

No it is a good idea, My first atempt was the old pipe lagging foam. Thought it would be ok untill i got home and looked at the state of it . Cut to shreads just on stubble.
