    Alright here is 2 photos of a factory Duke 1.5 coil spring. What are some adjustments you guys would make. I made a few on 1 already but curious to hear other opinions.

    Night latching is when you file a notch out where your latch fits. When your done your trigger will look like it has a step to it. I’m sure there are videos on youtube. It is very easy to do and you gain two very useful things. 1 your pan sits level and 2 you get a hair trigger once set.

    One of the adjustments I have made no picture yet is the night latch. The pan height is my next project….when adjusting that do any of you guys grind the sides of the pan down so is not getting pinched when the trap is not set or leave it as is?

    I will grind my pans so they don’t hang up when not set. I will only grind as little as I can to get it to stop binding up. You want your pan as large as it can be.
