Hi, i was looking at some pictures before I did my own trap mod for references and came across thesr two promo pics for the first movie. And saw the trap Dan is holding has a little metal rectangle on the front of the trap that I've never seen in any other photos. I was wondering if anyone had any information on it?

Could have sworn I replied to this...weird!

Anyway, this was added slightly later on I think. The original plan (big shout to namebrand and Doug Solo for the research on this!) was that the pedal went on the top of the trap, and the bullet catch held it in place between the handle and the bargraph part, with the Hammond boxes hanging down either side of the trap body. This seemingly didn't work, so this was added to hold the pedal in place. If you're on Facebook then the Spengler's 1984 Work Bench group has a massive deep dive thread on all of this from last year.
