frank c 969 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 What you are seeing in the photo is a swimming pool "noodle" between the control box and wrap around cover.They can be had for a buck at the local stores.I picked up this "tip" from a good hunting buddy.Cut it to length then slice it a little more than half its thickness.Place it in between your control box and wrap around cover.Next time you take a crap%%R climbing or decending a grade or if you just happen to drop your detector it will have a cushion.Instead of a concussion.After taking a few slips an slides I consider this a must have.Thanks and a tip o the hat to "Suburban Jack"1 gold gettn son of a gun.Hapy HuntnFrank C.

garimpo 2,301 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 That padding sure would help when I fall down the slave digs...happens all to often....guess other folkscould put the padding on the side of their detector so when the closet door closes it doesn't hurt thedetector :lol: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
