    New design for Besson Prestige belly guard

    I saw Steven Mead on Facebook ( https://www.facebook.com/653517451/v...3265550182868/) who showed a new design for the belly protection much more functional than the original: I thought it best to modify mine, so the main slide adjustment trigger rod is accessible and a reinforcement is added at the fixing point with the screw that had begun to show some cracks in the plexiglass.

    Nice. I have a large one, but that is the main problem with it…difficulty accessing the thumb screw to adjust the tuning slide.

    I wonder if the older models can be retrofitted with the new design elements.

  4. Someone should make a universal belly guard. I would love to use one on my Neo.
