Looking for a hooker harness thread

RVNewsletter · Post by **RVNewsletter** » Fri Feb 26, 2010 8:21 am

A couple of years ago -- and I believe it was here on Rivetbangers -- someone wrote a thread about installing their Hooker Harness in an RV and included their step-by-step installation of the crotch strap kit from Van's.

At the end was a discussion about what to do about the fact the Hooker harness takes an AN4 bolt and Van's calls out an AN5. Now I can't seem to find the thread here, or on VAF.

So, what's the best way to handle this? I'd rather not get in the bushing drilling business, but is it OK to just put an AN4 in?

Hmmmmm, Robert... perhaps it was I?

Maybe a stroll through my gallery might reveal some pictures but I am not sure. If not, I could take some more and post them up/

Anyways, I was the SECOND Hooker harness group buy manager and I did install the kit in my plane and I can help you figure out your RV juxtaposed installation questions.

The Hooker harness requires a 1/4" (AN4) fastener, as I recall. I also recall it to be a 3/8" long bushing (requiring 3/8" spacing between the crotch strap brackets).

This is in opposition to Vans' #10 fastener at 1/4" spacing.

Does this help you?

I found it. It was, indeed, you, Capt'n. On VAF. I'm back on track.
