[QUOTE="Ranchero50, post: 328363, member: 1523"] I wonder if it wouldn't be better to use a bolt running vertically to lock the tilt mechanism. Or to use the plate setup in the drawing weld a bit of pipe onto each of the flat plates so that a bolt would fit through snug. My concern is with a simple drilled hole in a metal plate is that you are loading your pin in shear and all the vibration / load is going to be transferred through that small area. I expect it'll wallow out pretty quickly from vibration. The pieces of pipe would transfer the load through a longer area and wear much less. [/QUOTE]
