Fixing the Amazon purchased 30 foot telescoping flagpole.

Purchased this flagpole and had it in the garage for quite a while before I put it up. When I put it up it had issues where the telescoping joints would loosen for some reason. Then when I was out there telescoping it back up again, the poles came apart. I had to take it down 2 weeks after I put it up. Because so much time had elapsed since I made the purchase I could not send it back. Here is what I did to fix the flagpole. (Sheet metal bolts in the joints and a pully at the top).
