Swing out tire

I want to build a swing out tire carrer for my CJ. I have a custom bumper with a rubicon rack on the back and the 35's don't fit. I have a idea of what it will look like, but I want to find out about two things.

1) What is a good way to pivot the carrier (on the bumper)?
2) Any ideas for a secure / smooth (Quiet) latching method?

Thanks for any help or suggestions on this!

look at what 4wdh makes and advertises in their catalog...it is a good example to copy

Sorry this doesn`t answer your question but , your 82 CJ5 has a tailgate ? I thought most if not all of the last run 5`s(82&83) had the solid rear . Or do you want the swing away for another reason ?
