Hi all. I have a kaymar rear bar and would like to secure it locked closed with some sort of mechanism. Wondering it anyone has done a similar thing?

I am creating a light stand with other functionality that will slot into the Kaymar tyre carrier swing out bar. It has taken a fair bit of effort so I don't want it flogged. I can secure it quite well to the tyre carrier, but the tyre carrier itself could be removed easily by unscrewing the swing arm pivot.

Thinking of the following, bolting on a C shape piece around the catch I can then secure:





I guess a bolt could go through the existing C shape metal around the catch although it doesn't look big enough for a bolt to go through leaving enough meat around it, plus it is bent up at an angle, both parts might mis-align over time with wear and I don't want to reduce the structural integrity of the catch.

Locking it also prevents the tub door being able to be dropped open, though that is not my reason for doing it.

Thanks for any ideas.
