The XP MI-4 Body Box is a replacement plastic housing for the XP MI-4 pinpointer, designed for detectorists repairing a damaged or worn housing. MI-4 owners who've cracked the body or need to replace the outer shell get an original XP housing that maintains the pinpointer's ergonomics and build quality. This housing ships ready to use with rubber grip pre-installed, so you can rebuild your MI-4 without sourcing separate grip components. The battery compartment cover is not included and must be purchased separately.
Why MI-4 Owners Choose This Replacement Housing
- Original XP construction: maintains the same fit and durability as the factory-installed housing, so your rebuilt MI-4 feels identical to a new unit.
- Pre-installed rubber grip: saves time during reassembly and ensures the grip is seated correctly for comfortable field use.
- DIY repair option: replace a cracked or damaged housing without sending the pinpointer in for service, getting you back in the field faster.
- Compatible with existing MI-4 internal components: works with your MI-4's circuit board, probe tip, and battery compartment hardware for a straightforward swap.
Original XP Housing Construction for Field Durability
The MI-4 Body Box is an original XP replacement housing that maintains the pinpointer's impact resistance and grip ergonomics. The rubber grip arrives pre-installed on the housing, so you can skip the grip-seating step during reassembly. This housing is designed to work with the MI-4's internal components, including the circuit board, probe assembly, and battery contacts. The battery compartment cover is sold separately as a distinct metal detector parts & accessories item, allowing you to replace only the components you need.
The housing fits the MI-4's standard form factor, so your rebuilt pinpointer pairs with existing holsters and carry solutions.
