Locking Screw Yow?

Hey everyone,

I recently bought a used YOW surfskate and I’m still pretty new to these systems, so I’m trying to figure a few things out.

From what I understand, it should be a YOW Meraki S5 system (not 100% sure though). I attached a photo of the front truck.

I recently heard that some surfskates have a kind of locking screw/pin to make the front truck more stable or even rideable like a normal cruiser. I noticed a small hole on the top left of the plate (next to the engraved “S”) and was wondering if that might be for something like that?

If that is the case, can you just buy that part separately (e.g. from the YOW shop), and is there anything specific I need to look out for?

Would be great to understand if this setup can be used in a more “locked”/cruiser-like way.

Thanks in advance!
