Does anyone know who may sell, or make your own, replacement safeties that work as well as the Belisle safeties? I really like their safeties and would like some to put on my other brands of body-grippers as well.

Try contacting Rich Kasper. I believe he may have what you need. ;\)

How are the Belisle safety hooks different than those on other body grip trap brands? All of my body grips are the older, original Victor Conibears - have never seen a Belisle to know the difference. Thanks.

I too am a HUGE fan of the Belisle saftees. I'm going to test out a few of MTPs super saftees on my other 330s.

Maybe someone else has actually used them and can give feedback.

adamj I saw them on his web site but they look to be for 330's I'm afraid they'd be loose on a 220 (what I need them for). Maybe I better call him and ask.

Jonathon - I'll try and get you a picture of them. They hold solid to the spring though and don't slide or turn on their own you must turn them out of the way. They never fall off.

I would be interested in finding out if the safety's would be interchangeable with vic 220s. I am going to hurt myself one of these times the way the safety's fall off those things.

Anyone use them on 220's? I'd hate to waste the money if they won't work on them.
