Dear Listers,
I was looking at how the Hooker Harnesses were going to be installed and noticed that the triangle mounting pieces have a small, "bushing" in the hole where the bolt goes. The triangle piece is already about twice the thickness of Vans standard belts and its a tight fit to get them squeezed into the mounting forks. But with the bushing in there it seems impossible. Are you suppose to just remove the bushing, or some how mash it down? I don't get it...
Thanks!

You can take the bushings out of the mount. Just make sure you don't crank down too tight on the bolts. The triangles shoudl pivot freely in the airframe mounts.

Hi Matt,
I just discussed this very subject with the Hooker rep at Osh. He said to use a file or scotchbrite wheel to flatten it as much as necessary to fit in. I haven't really dealt with the issue first hand, but that is what they are telling me.

Matt,
I just took the bushing to the grinder and ground it down until it fit nice and snug.

Matt,
I removed the existing bushing and replaced it with a flush bushing custom fit to the width of the triangular connector. Left is harness with Hooker factory bushing, center shows custom made bushing to fit into right steel harness connector:

This will allow the Hooker steel connector to fit into Van's clevis quite easily.
