Everyone,
It is known that #3 Bridger levers will change the old #3 Montys to a hi lever style. Does anyone know what levers would work to change the old #2 low lever traps to a hi lever configuration? Thanks.

Swifty,
Any problems encountered in the change over?

Just took some time. I cut through the original frame baseplate outside of the span of the spring pin. Then welded on a center D-ring baseplate to connect it all together after replacing the levers. Don't try to bend the Montgomery jaw tips to take them out of the frame, as the tips tend to break off, or at least crack and weaken.

Thanks for the picture. These traps are strong right from the factory. Set up like this probably as good as anything available currently.
