Gary,
No problem. I think Oberto was a little ahead of his time, in promoting dogless traps, adjustable pan tension, and smaller pans. These kits are so simple, and being adjustable, work on almost all type traps. I heard or read he made other sizes, like a 200 for #2 size trap, but have never seen one, to verify if it is true. I have a small stockpile of the #300's and #400's. You might try advertising on the trap shed if you are really wanting some, as there are bound to be more laying around in trap sheds somewhere?? Let me know if you need more photos, or you can PM me, if you prefer.

Hard to see, but that's a yote in a #2 jump, about 5' of chain, nailed down with a 24" 3/8" rebar stake

I have a hydraulic press. With the large jumps I have I pressed the pinch point where the pan attaches to the trap down so there was close to no gap. By moving the pan back and forth while compressing the pinch point it was easy to get that area very snug. After that I added a Miles Trigger and when set the traps have tension and no pan movement from side to side. I did the same thing with all the 3 and 4 long spring I have also. Same result. Small critters and bird used to set these traps off but after the modifications all that stopped. No added expense other then time. Ted
