Default lever latch??

Does anyone on here have a good pic of the same type of lever latch as used on the detours tailbone system? And maybe where I could purchase one? I cant find one anywhere in town and everytime I ask an employee I get a dumb look.

thanks

I am in the process of building my new rear bumper, and I looked for that same latch at first, but then decided on something I think is going to work just as well or even better.



You spin it and it retracts. They are spring loaded and used on the back or tow trucks. The pin is apx. 5/8". It may rattle so I am going to use a small rubber crush bushing behind the arm where the pin goes, so the rubber bushing should keep it tight so it does not rattle.

I bought mine from http://www.eztruckaccessories.com/pl...ns/TLP625.html

Going to be using a a-z fabrication hinge as well.

Goodluck on your build.

Post some pictures when its done.

I hope to have my bumper done before christmas. its 75% mocked up now.
