have you got any pics im starting to build mine this weekend went and got some steel tonight after work. what im looking at using is like a pin with a swival on it when you close the carrier you then swival the end around so its sit up and down to lock it off. i saw them at an idustrial supplies. they are the best places to try. or go to you local trailer supplies and have a look around they might have some ideas or somthing to do the job.
by the way in 4x4 mag i picked up the other it has and ad for opposite lock selling carriers from $1645 to $1695 for all modles not a bad price might not be long before prices start to drop now kaymar has some compition
