Anyone got a fox cage trap?

[James@Scarborough 0]

I've just priced up a fox trap and at nearly £130 + vat it's a bit on the expensive side. I have a dog cage (or crate as they are sometimes called) that I picked up from the pet shop for about £35 and thought I could modify one of these to do the same job. I could do with a coulpe of pics and/or a good description of the trigger and gate mechanism of a factory one so I can do this. Any help would be very gratefully recieved.

 

There was a post on here nearly a year ago, but alas the attachments have dissappeared!

The door seems to just fall down with gravity, no springs so should be easier to make
