It is NOT a replacement for the factory pan. This expanded pan is made to fit on top your existing pan, and be attached to it.
This expanded pan is made for serious bobcat trappers using exposed sets with the Bridger #3 dog on trap. It can also be used for coyote, fox, or what you target with these traps. It is made from 16 gauge steel, and comes ready to weld on your traps. It can also be bolted or riveted to your traps, but does not include the hardware to do this.
Advantages:
Expanded Pan - Larger surface area than a stock pan.
Made specifaclly for the Bridger #3 and Duke #4 trap, to fit over the existing pan to make for easy instalation. Pan does hit far edge of levers, and rides up to sit level when set off.
A permanent solution to replace shingles, or other oversized pan covers trappers are using.
