Anyone considering ordering a harness from Hooker should be aware of a potential issue.
It seems that all 2-seat RVs and the rear seats of the -10 use 1/4" bolt fitttings for the shoulder harnesses and that is what is supplied as standard by Hooker. However, the front shoulder harness on the -10 is fittted to a 5/16" structural c/s screw passed through a hard-point in the canopy. Scott at Hooker said he had never had this queried.
It seems to me that the 5/16" fitting is there for a reason, namely bearing area on the fibreglass to provide the required strength. I don't think that fitting a 1/4" screw here is a viable option as it may pull through in a crash.
Not a complaint or criticism - Scott sent me larger lugs without a problem and the quality, look and finish of the harnesses is great. However, if you intend to order it may be necessary to make it perfectly clear what you want, to avoid any unnecessary hassles. Guess that's true for any other manufacturer as well.
