Step 5Set the "Clamp"
anyway, this is what makes the binder.
its time to measure (if you haven't already) the distance between the bolts in the clamp and the offset distance from the inner edge of the original binder, i've seen it mounted on the side panel as well as the back panel, i mounted it on the back panel
the hard part is removing the bolts from the old binder, i tried to drill the top (or bottom i dunno) of the bolt as you do with rivets, the problem is that the bolt spins with the bit and anyway when you are done and try prying the clamp off your old binder it bends very easily WHICH IS NOT GOOD, the system used to pop the rings open and shut is really simple but bending this piece is its worst enemy
So anyway what i ended up doing was using the dremmel tool on the back side of the binder, and cut off the head of the bolts, removal was so easy after that
Now get your Drill bits and find one that matches the screws you got for this job.
the procedure is pretty easy overall just make your markings carefully so it doesn't look crooked in the end
Once you tighten the nuts on the back side you can put a dab of nail glue (the kind women use to put fake nails on, not the kind used on carpentry) or a similar glue so that it gets on the threads of the nut and locks it into place
