Default Help with the Hooker Sidemounts, PLEASE?!?!

I'm sure a number of you know what I'm talking about when I say there is one bolt that does not fit in the flange because the bend in the pipe is too tight...any advice?

Thanks guys, Todd

Try to start that bolt with the header loose and slightly pulled away from the head.

#2 I believe was my issue. I dimpled the pipe carefully with a ball peen hammer. That''s using stage 8 bolts. With regular hex bolts you may need to grind down the flats on the bolt head to achieve a smaller hex as well.

why not just put a stud in that hole? Pre measure it and make it as shot as possible,then put a nut on the stud.They also make nuts with a smaller outside dia.
