clip nut performance

[jcastillo]

May I consider a clip nut as a common nut for calculation? The clip nut has any special consideration for impact situations. How I can calculate the clip nut resistance at fender position?

You've been looking for this for a month or so now - I suggest you test the nuts yourself and find out.

in a crash I don't think there would be any differance between a clip nut and a regular nut of the same type, the clip only holds the nut in place to make assembly easier.
