Need suggestions fast

I have been working on this tire swing for the past 2 days. Well I have now gotten to the point where I need to find a latch. What is everyone else runnin?

I am really against the Tbolt idea.

Heres a pic of the swing

Thats what I meant to say...

I guess if you can't find some locally, mine might be the trick... we have used them on dozens of tire carrier projects...

I welded a flat plate on the swinging rack that rested against the lower bumper. Then welded a cool looking nut into the bumper. Made a threaded "T" handle and drilled a hole in the flat plate.

With the flate plate against the bumper you screw the "T" bar in to hold it all together. Rattle Free!

The pic will help understand.
