The Minelab Armrest Repair Kit is a complete replacement set for GPX, Sovereign GT, and Eureka Gold detectors, containing neoprene armrest cover, arm strap, and mounting hardware. Detectorists running these older-generation Minelab models often face worn padding and frayed straps after years of field use, and this kit restores the armrest assembly to factory condition without needing to replace the entire shaft. The kit uses the same materials Minelab specifies for these platforms, so fit and durability match the original components.
What's Included with the Minelab Armrest Repair Kit
- Minelab Armrest Repair Kit (neoprene cover, arm strap, hardware)
- Generic neoprene armrest cover
- Generic arm strap

- Two black nylon wing nuts
Why GPX, Sovereign GT, and Eureka Gold Owners Reach for This Kit
- Complete armrest refresh in one package: neoprene cover, strap, and all mounting hardware included, eliminating the need to source individual components.
- Direct fit for GPX, Sovereign GT, and Eureka Gold: designed to match the armrest geometry on these older-generation Minelab platforms without modification.
- Nylon hardware resists corrosion: black nylon screws and wing nuts hold up in humid climates and coastal hunts where metal fasteners would rust.
- Restores comfort on multi-hour sessions: fresh neoprene padding and a new strap distribute detector weight evenly, reducing forearm fatigue.
- Field-serviceable with basic tools: wing-nut design allows armrest replacement in the field without a screwdriver, useful when padding fails mid-hunt.
Neoprene Padding and Nylon Hardware for Long-Term Durability
The kit's neoprene armrest cover matches the material Minelab uses on these detector families, providing cushioning that compresses under load without bottoming out. The arm strap is a generic-fit design that wraps around the forearm and secures around the forearm, accommodating different arm sizes. Black nylon screws and wing nuts replace the original fasteners, and nylon's corrosion resistance makes the hardware more durable than steel in wet or salty environments. We've seen detectorists replace armrest padding every 2-3 years on heavily used GPX units, and this kit supplies everything needed for that refresh. Minelab's minelab metal detectors & gold prospecting equipment line includes accessories and replacement parts for both current and older-generation models.
