Punch it through so its open inside to the other side of the pole.
Get your
drill with a good alum or steel bit,
I can't find any alum bits.Â* However, I got some Guhring cobalt twist
drills in my box.Â* Would those work?
drill through the hole ot make a hole on
the other side. Get a bolt and washer and nut that will fit throught
all the
way and put the nut on and tighten it.
Â* He used a poor choice of words , probably meant bits intended to
drill aluminum . Whatever , the answer is yes , the bits you have should
work fine . Run 'em fast and use light pressure . And for sure center
punch where you want the hole , bits tend to skate on small diameter
round stuff .
