Hoping I can find some advice here. I have a wooden bassinet, unknown make/model/time period, but I have searched for hours and can’t find the appropriate fixtures, or something that would work. As seen in image 1, there is a ring for the fixture that allows it to swing. I need something similar to image 4 (photo of antique crib I found online). And as seen in images 2 and 3, I need to find something to act as a bolt to stop the bassinet from swinging as needed, so it needs to be easy to activate and release easily. Hope someone here can help! Thanks in advance!!

Have you searched something like "DIY Jenny Lind cradle kit"? I have no idea why but those things are named after a 19th century Swedish opera singer.
Maybe look at marine supply sources. Such as
