I am building a couple of swing out tire carriers for the Jeeps. I am not really crazy about using a "toggle clamp" to latch the tire carrier. I have noticed on some of the Smitty built stuff, they use a aluminum lever and slotted key-way for a latch. I don't know if this is something that I would trust????
I am leaning toward using a vertical ACME threaded rod and hand-wheel. Basically a speedy screw to tighten and hold the carrier closed.
Anyone have a better idea for a latch or closing device???? :homer:
