Like this:

Remove the plastic strip and metal clip, and replace with key ring to hook tightly around mic at back of case.

Thanks for that Ken ive ordered two :smiley:

thats a good idea.

In order to make sure the mic doesn’t fall off the new key ring, make sure it’s a snug fit, but not too snug that you can’t rotate the mic around once it’s on. Open the key ring out slightly using force if necessary. I would guess a pair of long nosed circlip pliers would help. The other end on the spool (The spring.) should slot over any flat upright surface and bingo.

Not used one myself, but I knew what you meant when you posted the question, and E.Bay was my friend. :smiley:

A pic once installed would be nice.

Ken.

What a waste of money :laughing: :laughing: us intellegent drivers buy a 50 cent bungee and hook it to the mike then the other end to a high point in the middle of the cab, about 90% of us use the bungee, the special devices with a little spring operated coil (like you ordered) is considered an idiot toy. and a waste of money.

i was gonna say i always use a bungee does the job fine

Cheers Pat; I broke my mic clip yesterday but Ive got a spare bungee cord in the garage…

I could also point out that both bungee and the spring loaded device last about the same time before failing so take the least expensive one.

i spose i could use my old retractable dog lead …that means i could walk about 10 meters from my cab with the mike before i get reeled back !
brilliant

We used to annoy the local taxi drivers by swearing so their fares would hear…and annoy some coffin dodgers who’d go on about yours magazine, radio times, dementia etc…
