The second aim was a little trickier. I already butchered the frame when I cut off the passenger grab rails and truncated the rear and I had welded a piece back in as a cross brace, this followed the curve of the frame. Guess where the bolt holes for the latch are - right on the top of the curve, therefore not an ideal place to mount the latch plate. Only one solution is to cut out my infill piece and make it where the plate will bolt on. Out with the Dremel and all but one of my 1" cutting discs used up we are now as per the pictures below.
