An electrically conductive structural connection employs a feedthrough or fastener (10) having a first diameter. A fastener hole (18), with a second diameter larger than the diameter of the feedthrough (10), extends through a thickness of a structure (20) and receives the feedthrough. A bushing (12) having a diameter and a thickness to fit between the first and second diameters extends through and past the thickness of said structure. When the feedthrough is compressively secured to the structure, the bushing expands radially between the first diameter and the second diameter to maintain at least one contact point between the fastener and the structure.
