Do a search for a "miles trigger" kid. Stop spending money where you don't need to.

Seriously you ask for help and then pick apart the reply’s. Young man you have a lot to learn.
I think you should use google and find your own answers.

Stealing has nothing to do with the pan! If they want your trap they’ll take it.

You will double the price of your traps if you add pit pans.

A candle made of trap wax is what I used to take the side to side wobble out.
After the trap is set, a few drops of wax on each side of the pan where it attaches to the trap. And a couple on the miles don't hurt either.
Or just call Ed
I personally went cheap to start, then my fur I caught bought me better gear
And I do that still
Good luck

If in fact you did know, or put in the time to properly research it, you'd have found out it can be filed to add whatever pan tension you want and there are permanent ways to stop pan wobble or as you call it "that sideways flop". [Linked Image]

Yeah knocking most of that wobble out isn't hard at all just need a hammer and a anvil. You can easily but like #5 of pan tesion on with a miles. That being said though after looking around for a while haven't found anywhere that just says it so for just so it's out there ,if anyone has some #2dls with pit pans can you pretty please say whit pan number you have and if it's a special order deal or something please.

Also just added two things in the trap prep archive in diy versions

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.
