Wave Train, I just replied to your PM.
For the rest that may be interested my tilt latch came on the trailer. It is made of 3 pieces of 7/8" I.D. pipe and a 7/8" solid bar inside that slides forward when pulled against the spring pressure. Another member here told me that H and H Trailer Co. went out of business and since I can't bring up their site anymore I don't know the status of the company. The HHTrailer.com site comes up as under construction. I haven't had a need to call them but the main plant was in Braddyville, IA with a Ph.# is still listed as (712)589-3100.
These type latches could easily be made from any size pipe and solid bar stock that will fit inside. It wouldn't even need to be spring loaded as long as there was some way to secure the pin in the locked and unlocked positions. Attached are a couple more close ups of the latch.
