Bolting T tube

I've been reading the mod bible, and im new to scootering(been scooting about 3 months) so I don't know all that much but i've decided to Lock my folding mech and bolt my T tube.

About half an hour ago i decided I would bolt my T tube so I went to the shed and found a bolt about 1cm wide and a nut that fitted it. I measured up the bolt against how wide the tube was and it could JUST fit the bolt on the end, and i though 'Hey this is great, because it will be tighter when i screw it on, therefore holding it together better'

So I mounter my Razor in the vice and grabbed the drill bit. I drilled away through one side and the bit got jammed so I had to file it a bit. I then proceeded to drill all the way through. A good hole, except for the fact that I didn't drill it directly on the side. This was a bit of a problem but it didn't have to be perfect.

I put the bolt through and got out my shifters(Spanners for all you idiots out there) and tightened it as hard as I could.

I took the scooter for a test doing some pogos (I normally knock my knees on the stupid quick release thing) and it was fine.

Next Job: Locking the folding mechanism. I will probably attempt this tomorow night.

The scooter I'm doing the mods on atm is my old scoot, hoping to get a new one soon.

No pics atm sorry.

Thats alright mate. I live in S.A And I really don't want to order the yaks off the internet as I do not have a credit card and my parents would not let me use theirs.

My 2 local skate shops are: Jetty surf(Surf/Skate shop) and Daily grind(Don't sell that stuff) so I really have no way of getting them.

Well I decided to go out and do it quickly now so i didnt have to do it tomorow. I did it differently than it says in the bible, i made the hole bigger and stuck in 2 10 mm bolts and also put in 2 tek-screws for strength.
