Abstract
A bushing for a hole in a structural member includes a flange with an aperture there through. A plurality of tabs are hinged to the flange at locations around the aperture. During installation of the bushing, the plurality of tabs are inserted into the hole with the flange being located on one side of the structural member. The plurality of tabs then are flared outward on the opposite side of the structural member to prevent the bushing from being extracted from the hole. A plurality of latches retain the tabs in the flared position.
