"Behold, I send my messenger,
And he will prepare the way before me.
And the Lord whom you seek
Will suddenly come to His temple,
Even the messenger of the covenant
In whom you delight.
Behold, he is coming,"
Says the Lord of hosts.

Malachi 3:1

Is this for the crotch strap? Grind away. No problem. I ran into this with the crotch straps and was able to grind these down, no problem. They might spin, but mine didn't fall out.

You got me on the -8. On my -7, the shoulder straps work great on the cables to the rear fuse. I need to check the hip belts this weekend but I hope they fit.

I actually put S-bends into all my brackets so they accept the hookers...

The way to solve this is to flare out the ends of the bushings. Install your largest fatest male dimple die into your D-2 dimpler (everyone owns one of these right?) Insert the bushing and pull down. You should squeeze one side at a time. Just enough so the bushing fits between the crotch strap brackets. You may have to ream out the bushing a little to fit the AN bolt size call out.
Happy building!
