I solved that problem with my old floor hatch years ago relatively cheap.
Cut on table saw 3/4" PVC Pipe in half lengthwise. Epoxy Glue or Glass & clamp them to the underside of Hatch. Glue Vinyl Tube connectors (sprinkler drip hose type) to back corners and tie tubes into your self bails with same.
See picture to give you an idea.
