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.
