So i have my pro model here... i dont know what the hells going on, this is the first time iv'e had problems with a folding mech. I locked it, but for some reason the middle bolt dosn't keep the neck/headcup thing in place no matter how tight it is. I removed one of the bolt on that plat thing in the front of the mech and have 3 bolts in place at the mech. Theres extra space on the middle hole for some reason. Anybody have any suggesstions on how to get this to stop moving? Ive tried like 3 different bolts and none of them are thick enough to keep this thing in place. Also i adjusted that black screw thing that pushes the folding mech back so that it pushes it back a little, still no good. Help is appriciated :)

Heres a picture of him, you can see the space. I can probably fix this so easily by buying a thicker bolt but i have no way to get to a hardware store to find one.

I always take the front plate off, it makes it possible to tighten the plates on both sides all the way. I had the same problems when I couldnt take it off. So do it, or if you dont want to or youre desperate, do that drill through kevin vannaukers (/sean kanes?) mod but WITH the bolts.

Edit: And I always use bolts from the hardware store.

Yeah i allready took a bolt out of one side of that plate, so it makes it able to be tightend.
