Hi Mike,
How does that one swivel sideways? I can't figure how it works in the slot? Does it drop out then tighten up, or doe ssit not need to, and all you need is space between the longitudinal bit and the lid?
Thanks
John

: that I kept it low profile by using just a stainless bolt. Just don't
: forget the coin you need to open it!
