My Excalibur coil falsing problem is fixed

[relicpro]

I had replaced the plastic coil bolt on my Excal with a brass one so that I could tighten it better. Every time I bumped my coil it would false. Went back to the plastic bolt and NO MORE PROBLEMS!!

If you need replacement bolts, check at Lowes or Home Depot for Nylon Bolts. They were in a drawer in the nuts and bolts section when I checked. I recommend checking for those first, if they arent there, I heard toilet seat bolts work as well, but they are too wide, and you have to ream out the holes on the coil. I didn't like that idea, and hunted for a better alternative, and there it is.

Hope this helps.

Using a metal bolt is not a good idea as it distorts the field. Why do you think the factory uses Nylon bolts and nuts?

Any metal near the coil will give you falsing, be that a mounting bolt "OR" even the coil wire wrapped around the stem close to the coil.
Always use a plastic bolt and never wrap the coil wire around the stem withen 8" of the coil. I always run the coil wire straight along the stem with wire ties til it is atleast a foot above the coil before wrapping it around the stem.
