Swing out bumper latch install problems

Hello - I think my gate latch for my new bumper may be machined wrong and I'm hoping someone can help. Or am I missing something?

The Latch will not pivot forward more than the below picture with the bolt inserted, and you can also see the hole for the pin doesn't line up.
Here you can see the other hole doesn't line up in the closed position which means the bolt location in the first pic is correct.

Help?

 

@Socalduckslayer ?

 

Lot of activity on this.

 

Yes I'm aware. Hoping i'm missing something or others can chime in.

 

More in response to you tagging Tyler than your issue.

Good luck!

 

My second photo just shows me trying the other hole since it wont pivot forward when I use the bottom hole. Your pic looks exactly like the way I am trying to install, but I appear to have a machining defect. Thanks for taking the time to post that pic.

 

Sorry OP, but hopefully it's a simple fix with some drilling.

And I don't mean to hijack this thread, but anyone know if the locking pin used on this same setup is commercially available elsewhere? My pin is rusting pretty badly and I feel at some point it's going to snap.

 

It definitely is on mcmastercarr, saw a thread recently, but can't find it right now.
