Psssst…..
 

Will these be added to the certified list?

They fresh off the press. Gonna take time. FIC guy is aware of their existence.

They so fresh, no dealer orders yet, but i was able to wrangle a dozen, just forgot to get some pics for y’all

Comparison of the MB-550 to the Alpha

Both need to be 4 coiled by my way of thinking, and Alpha the winner. It has its drawbacks but looks to be an otherwise ok unit, at least compared to what i was raised on

I like.

But I wonder, is that pan pivot bolt stainless steel?

I didn’t look at it today, but looking at the one photo close suggests that we are looking at a self locking nut, so I doubt it. I don’t know of a single trap that has a stainless bolt. But a guy could sure change it out, especially if you could find a fine thread stainless bolt and fine thread self locking nut.

I would change it out. So no biggy. They look good to me.

I only ask because some of my older traps, long since made illegal traps, have brass pan bolts, so they won't rust up and seize.

Some of my traps are over eighty years old and still work as they were intended to.

BTW I buy my stainless steel fasteners from Albany County Fasteners in New Jersey.

They have just about any size and type of fastener anyone might want in any material one might use.
And they'll sell them in guaranties down to 25 per order.

And they do sell stainless steel lock nuts in sizes from #4 to 1"
