Everyone wants to be a chestbeater until they realize half the stuff in their house is made in a different country. That being said, I've caught just as much fur in my Duke's as my K9 Xtremes.

I believe I have come up with an effective, easy, inexpensive mod to allow pan tension adjustment on the Duke Pros by drilling holes through pan arms, just above spring pin and inserting a bolt and nut to pinch the pan arms together, creating drag and allowing adjustment of pan tension.

I do have a little concern that the additional hole may cause metal fatigue failure over time, especially on #850,s for wolf.

Take a look- let me know what ya think. Haven’t had a chance to field test. I’m setting up a few of my #650’s this way but won’t be setting for a bit until cat season opens.
