Finally got my latches! First vendor screwed around for a week before feeding me some B.S. about the latch no longer being made anywhere by anyone. I ordered from another vendor right after Thanksgiving and they shipped the following Monday.
I'm going to weld the barrel to a couple of gussets on the bumper in this position so that the plunger goes into the open end of the main tube on the swing out.
A simple pull on the handle retracts the plunger allowing the carrier to swing open.

Hey Frank, where did you get this and how much was it?

Been a while since I've been able to work on this thing. Took a little time away from a few other projects and made a little progress today.
Got some mounting points welded on for a Hi-Lift Jack.
Used a spare stub shaft and unit bearing hub to mount the spare. The stub shaft has had the ears removed and is welded to the cross bar. The hub is secured to the stub shaft with a hub nut. The hub serves double duty as a tire mount and trail spare.

Cool. Was reading the thread again and never saw where anyone said they knew. Awesome build. I love the idea of the spare unit bearing and axle shaft. I was hoping to do something similar, I just wasn't sure the way to go about it. Now I know.
