I ordered a second lower shaft in anticipation of getting one of the new search coils coming out so I figured it would be a good time to see if I could find an easy way to stiffen it up a bit.
This is a simple and inexpensive mod. It only adds 1 ounce to the lower shaft and takes a good bit of the “springy” feel out of it. I ordered (1) 12mm OD x 10mm ID x 1000mm long carbon fiber tube from eBay ($12.99 link below) this is long enough to do two lower shafts. The lower shaft of the Simplex is tapered so the carbon fiber tube will go almost all of the way in and then get very snug. I then carefully trimmed the tube off flush with a hacksaw and filled around the tube with some clear silicone just to keep it from moving.
