Yeah, of course it's showing off..

The threaded rod is 1/2" UNF, the pin is 4140 tube, the locking pin is just a regular hitch pin (not sure of the UK name), but they cost next to nothing.

The pin tube is inserted thro' and then locked and located by the hitch pin...it was all pretty easy to make...cost more in time that anything else really....

Just trying to throw in a few more ideas more than anything really....

Excellent job - I was thinking about using 10mm rose joints in a similar way but with your method the pin is held firm & square too.
