Chris, The bolts do not pivot inside the rubber the holes in the rubber were drilled with a 4.5mm bit, bolts are 4mm. However due to the distortion in the rubber when you drill it, it is still a push-fit (small finger force) to push the bolt through the rubber. The hinge effect comes from the lugs pivoting on the bolts the locknuts are done up to the point where everything touches, but is still just free to pivot.
