Adding pan tension to longsprings - 01/17/22 05:58 AM
I’m familiar with and sometimes use PIt pans and miles triggers. I bought some old traps today and there was a Newhouse and a Hawley with posts for the pan pivot, and a victor with “folded up” sides for the pan pivot. Can I just grind off or drill out the pan pivot rivet and add a bolt like a PIT pan to add tension? Might require a washer or two. Has anyone done this, and how did it work? I attached a photo so you can see the what I mean.
