Nuts And Bolts Underneath

[Guest Calvert]

Can someone please help. I have a load of nut covers and wondered.... do all the nuts and bolts underneath the car need to be cut down and covered?

[Guest Dredd]

I didn't on mine and it passed OK.

Hi,

 

No, you don't need to cover them for SVA..... anything UNDER the car is exempt from radiused edges....the same applies for the engine bay.

 

Be mindful though, on my test, he checked to make sure I had either a nylock on, or a spring washer if a normal nut was used. May pay you to check and be on the safe side.

yep everything under neath is exempt from sharp edges mine looked like a big cheese grater and still passed

As others have said the underneath is exempt BUT all nuts and bolts throughout the car must have a locking device i.e. nylock, spring washer or two nuts locked together which is what I did with some of the m6 bolts underneath as I had run out of spring washers just before SVA

I've just posted a picture of the underside of mine on topic title Side Panels.

 

The car that is !!!!

 

The only thing to add was locktite will do very well according to Notts SVA man.
