Patent ID: 7131809

Claim:
A method of forming a modular body bolt absorber assembly comprising: securing a generally flat washer to a body absorber, the washer having a top surface, a bottom surface and an aperture with an axis therethrough, wherein the body absorber includes a portion that extends beyond said bottom surface, said portion being adapted for engagement with an independent mating structure that is substantially parallel to said bottom surface and transverse to said axis; providing a wall of flexible material that is formed substantially transversely to the axis, the wall being arranged such that the axis extends therethrough; and passing a bolt through the aperture of the washer and the wall of flexible material such that the elasticity of the flexible material expands so that the bolt can be pushed and slidably captured by the flexible material to complete the modular body bolt absorber assembly so as to provide an unthreaded engagement between the flexible material and the bolt.
