So, if my reasoning is correct, the only protruding bolts allowed are the bolts holding the bumpers on.

The Protruding bolts most certainly are not the ones holding the bumpers on. They are attached to the frame, see my second post for some clarification on where the note doesn't line up with the rules.
I understand what the rules are saying, but the intent of the rule is still somehwere outside of my knowledge base.
