I just used 2 plates, top and bottom, sandwiching the swing-out portion, and drilled holes and put a grade 8, 1/2" bolt thru it. The plates prevent any sag, and it works great. I put some antiseize between the plates and the swing-out, and it swings sweet. For the latch, I used 2 more plates, top and bottom, took a grade 5 bolt, filed a flat on it, drilled a hole in the end for a hitch pin clip, and slide the bolt thru the plates and the swing-out, and push the lock pin thru, similar to a hitch. It's a little difficult to explain, but it's really simple. I should have some pics scanned in soon.

good luck
Pete
