okay,so I wanted a pivotal seat for simplicity,and the hole in the top was fine,but then I tore it and recoevered it,and the hole was....well,I couldnt get it so the hole could cover up,so there was an ugly hole in the seat. and I wanted it gone. How do I do this!? I thought of a few things. my first idea,was to use a hacksaw and cut the bolt a bit down the middle so its a notch,and use a flathead screwdriver.

fail.

so then I saw this on my desk:



I tried it,failure,too long . So I found this:

the bottom one. I actually had one in my bolts bucket

and then I used this is the bolt for it:



its the mounting bolt from the brakes,from like tektros or something like that,again it was in the bolts bucket.

and then I put the female part through the seat,and the bolt up from the bottom:





and tighten from the bottom!



^^^so you can actually reach the bolt and keep it tight,the first time I did this I did it up finger tight and it didnt last too long,then I tightened it using a wrench and its worked awesome. I only took it apart to make this how-to

theres your seat:



no more holes. clean. smooth. the clean look of a pivotal guts with the clean look of a rails seat. CHING CHING!

and all you weight whores,yes,it weighs less then the pivotal bolt too -,-
