CTX 3030 11" Coil Broken Ears

[Aussie Okie]

Hi,
I have a CTX 3030 and both the 'ears' that attach the shaft to my 11" coil snapped off.
I have seen 'ear' protectors/strengtheners etc made with a 3D printer but I can't find them for the CTX just the Equinox.
Does anyone know of anyone selling 'ear' strengtheners?
I also tried glueing them with JB Weld but didn't hold.

I would attach a small piece of wood to each side of your shaft end and tie strap it right onto the coil.

Are you still around? This is really cool.

Hell with a repair send that coil back to minelab for a new coil.
CTX is to expensive for all that BS
It's a coil defect send it back
