Abstract
A device for fastening to the body of a motor vehicle an assembly comprising a support plate, is of the type comprising a bolt-and-nut assembly. The threaded shank of the bolt passes through a hole in the support plate, a hole formed in a damping ring which is interposed between the support plate and a first face of a bodywork element of the vehicle, and a hole in the bodywork element itself. The bolt is screwed into a nut which is located beyond the opposite face of the bodywork element, and which is received in a nut retaining cage. The damping ring and the cage are made integrally with each other as a single assembly member of elastomeric material or rubber; the portion of this assembly member that defines the cage deforms in expansion while the nut is being tightened on to the bolt.
