Where would I be able to purchase a hinge to build a swing away tire carrier?

I have a stock of them, for when I get orders for s.o.t.c's.
Brought in from the states from ROCK LOGIX. They have proven to be one of the best.
Rating of 1250lbs, nice small dia. cuff so it fits well to 2x2 tube. Seated and sealed bearings, easy to assemble.
I priced out making in them in my own shop, with my own equip, and it was too much cost and fussing around.
Shipped out of the states total price breakdown---$70.00
Cheers, Craig

If you are going to use a spindle style, make sure you know what you are doing when welding them.

Spindles and mild steel dont just go together and live happily ever after. Its easy to for those welds to crack and fail.

Tabs, tubing and bolts is safer, but more work.

Just make sure you know what you are doing either way.
