Baseplate and I like the ones J.C. Conner sells.
The D-ring is off to the side more than the center.


Let me sugar coat this

Easier to weld on a baseplate that to put on the center locators.

What's wrong with them chains attached to the end of the springs like they come from the factory? It forces the caught foot to the corner of the jaws where its a tighter hold. Top center of the trap is where the jaws exert the least amount of pressure = easier to pull out. (not that that is a big concern if the springs are strong on bobcats)
