Take time to enjoy it, before you get to the age that it isn't like it used to be

got all the chain and swivels off my traps last night going to redo it all i have some #2 welded chain thinking 8 or 9 links with a crunch proof swivel on both ends with a shock spring at the trap should keep the chain length about 9 or 10 inches total including the swivels most of the NWS 1 3/4s have a welded ring on the trap frame a few dont so should i use the rivet in the side hole or just drill a hole in the frame and put rivet through the hole or do they make a split ring or something that i dont have to weld that i could put around the frame to attach the swivel from the bottom like the original welded ones
thanks as always for any and all info or suggestions
i know i cant spell but im sure you all can understand what im typing

Brad, you can leave the chain on the ends of the trap if you wish.Some prefer the chain in the center of the trap.
One way to do this,is take a few links of your #2 machine chain ,and wrap it around the base plate.Attache a double swivel to the two ends of the chain--then you can add whatever chain lenth you want to the swivel.
