well i i just filled in the holes, hopefully they will be strong enough.

i was lining up the handpole and there seams to be a really big gap between the pole and bracket..

does it look too big? do i need new bushings?

My pole has a gap like that when it's not attached. You're supposed to tighten the handlepole bolt to 50 ft-lbs and when you do, the gap will close.

yeah but overtightening the pole bracket with that a big a gap could lead to cracking the bracket... especially the square bracket since its so wide.
