If you have a welder or a buddy who does yes very easy can cut nails or buy 3/16 round stock and cut it to length. Set your trap and see how far down you can place metal so it doesn’t interfere with pan/ or frame and once you have one piece cut out you’ll have your length for the rest of them and bam time to get welding.

Hammer... and others, I always wondered....does the trap jaw HAVE TO BE double jawed laminated on both jaws? In other words, will one modified jaw work to stop the self induced damage? My guess is the "best" jaw to modify would be the loose jaw? It would be the easiest to work on? What say you?

if you have time to kill it will keep you busy. its almost the same cost to buy them. especially if you can find them used

Doing one jaw might solve half the problem.
