Re: legality of bolt and screw heads breaking plane of chassis meeting bumpers

Remember, notes are meant to clarify. They are not rules.

If the bolt and screw heads are in the bumper zone, you're fine. Just make sure the bumpers are pocketed to take the bolt heads.

If the bolt and screw heads are above or below the bumper zone, you're not fine and will have to either expand the frame perimeter or reduce the bolts' protrusion to zero.
