Nut covers for nuts(!)
Split some water hose, wrap round offending tie-rod nuts etc and tie wrap in place. Cut some self-adhesive thick foam and wrap around knarled nut @ bottom of suspension (adjustable spring seat) with tie-wrap as added precaution.

He wanted everything behind the bar padded in case someone walked into so that if they put their hand out they wouldn't get injured

Strange the bumper defines the floor line and everything under the floor is 'free' by the definition of the SVA manual. It goes into great detail of how it's measured. If the tester can ignore it why is it in the manual.

If you lay on the ground and wave your arm under my tintop you can catch exposed bolts
