fixing cheap Chinese stuff to suit my needs

so, I felt the need to change the clamp of my bicycle seatpost from fixed screw to quick release. Being winter and not using it too much, I didn't bother to check whether the cheap quick release clamp I found on Ebay, for less than 1€ would do.



Once it arrived, I realised that for it to fit, my clamp would have to be hole through, using a nut, which wasn't  going to work in my case.

So got my (cheap) rod thread cutter tools at hand and lengthened the thread of the quick release to be able to screw all the way.



It worked pretty good. But the screw seems to have bend a little.
I used the bike a little bit and seems to be secured nicely.
