Any idea as to what this elongated nut is for?
I found it underneath the adjustable driver's seat of my 2011 BDR. I have no idea and unless I remove the seat completely, I can't investigate properly. So I'm seeking 'insider' knowledge from the audience.  |

That's the master nut. It ties the frame rails, drivetrain all together. Be careful driving.

Looks like a nut to hold the VDO gauge bracket.

Interesting. Will check underneath the dash for missing fasteners.
But in the meantime, Merry Christmas everyone! |

Holds the windshield wiper blades to the glass... so you don't get streaks.

Good catch Jay! Looked under the dash and noticed actually a couple of nuts missing on two different VDO gauge brackets. Is this type of nut readily available at your local hardware store or is it some specialty type of fastener? |

I had to order one of those. Only to discover that in the Southern Hemisphere they are left hand thread. ��
