Has anyone ever widened the opening of the body lifting hooks sold in the online Corvette stores? And if so, how did you do it?
Others must have determined like me that the opening of the hooks sold in the Corvette body lift strap sets are not wide enough and thus do not provide the proper "fit" to lift the body. I was all ready to lift the body on my '72 Coupe this past Sunday but this derailed me. My brother and I tried to open up the gap on one a little to no avail. We were afraid to apply heat to the hook as the lifting strap is nylon and thus might be affected by the heat. Any direction on "proven" methods to do this would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Roger
