swingawaylatch.jpg Just a quick sketch for a custom bumper tire rack latch.

FRONT is to the RIGHT.  The vertical distance between the pivot & hook makes the hook grab the rack tightly, and the horizontal distance make it easy-to-operate.

The bottom corner of the latch (near the base of the spring) needs to be trimmed away from the rack slightly, below the centerline of the pivot.
