I'm interested in the replies as I have a stout rear tube bumper that I am trying to figure in a swing away tire carrier.  I'll let you know if I come up with a feasible plan

I just posted the following on "the other forum" and I just thought I would add it here for good measure.

Here is another source for the trailer stub style of tire carrier pivots.

I'll be ordering one of their hinge tubes in the near future.  I like the fact that it is machined out of one piece of tubing, not an assembly using sch40 or sch80 pipe.  I already have the axle stub, bearings, seal and cap so this is the last missing piece.  Now I just need to build my 3" body lift so I can get started on my bumpers.

For latches check out Austin Hardware for the De-Sta-Co latches/clamps.  They have pretty good prices and a great selection.

Good luck with your project!!
