Anyone know where to get this latch?

[TheMike]

After one particular obstacle in Moab, when I kind of gently placed my jeep on its butt, I stressed this latch out on my swing away tire carrier and now it’s a bit sloppy. It closes on a typical striker bolt.

Any help would be appreciated as I have done all the searching I can stand!!! Anyone with special needs knowledge???

Looks like Rat Rod parts. Might try some of those type places...

Couple questions:

Who made the carrier/bumper?

What is printed in the circled area?

I searched for door latches in New Hampton, Iowa and came up with the probable manufacturer of your latch.

Look for "rotary latch". Austin Hardware, AL Hansen, and others carry them.

Looks like the latch that is used on my Rock Hard 4x4 bumper.

If they don't have the exact latch, they know who makes it. Give them a call, they seem to be pretty good people.

as soon as we figure it out, I'm buying one for my swingout build. Nifty..

Crap Dave! You did it. To my own disgust and lack of attention to detail, you struck gold! I owe you a beer, or two, or three!

The bumper was made by Jeeperman. No longer around!

The latch was made by Trimark Corp. I can't believe I didn't see that before.

I'll be calling them tomorrow to find where to pick one or two up. When I get the details, I'll post up!

Once again, this forum ROCKS!!! Thanks Dave.

That's correct, it's made by Trimark. I have one in the office that I was researching for a project.

Here you go (looking at it from the top). Latch is on the right, striker bolt on the left:
