FWIW, they are captive and will require either taping or welding a nut 
in the new hole..

          <div>     I am finally getting around to installing the leaf
            springs for my BN2.  This is the first time I have put a big
            Healey together and I got my car as a bare shell., so I
            wanted to make sure I got this right.  Check the photos of
            the rear left leaf spring at the rear hanger.  I have all
            the hardware that was listed at Moss, including the two jam
            nuts for the bolt through the body mount.  The double ended
            threaded bolt can only go one way with the jam nuts on one
            end and the big nut and lock washer on the other.  I
            determined the jam nuts were to take the lateral movement
            out of the bolt, but leave it loose enough to let the links
            swing with the movement of the axle.  After looking at it, I
            could have just flipped the whole links and bolts over
            exposing the jam nuts to the outside.  Might have been
            easier that way, but it wasn't bad.</div>
          <div>    Also look at the third picture.  This is just below
            and behind the leaf spring.  There is a captive nut behind
            the sheet metal of the inner wheel well.  You can see it it
            in the center of the photo.  What is this threaded hole for?</div>
