I plugged the mast just above the pivot whole and the used epoxy with filler to fill the whole 2" inches up the mast with epoxy with the bolt in and wrapped in clear packing tape.
This wrapping allowed me to aline the bolt and remove it when the epoxy set. This helps stabilize the the mask when raising it and provides a larger surface with mast foot when transporting.
