[Healeys] Rear spring mounts.

[David Lodge]

Grappling with a rear road spring mystery and I'm ransacking sundry manuals and the 'Net to find an answer.  Allow me to explain.  The front hanger brackets on the rear chassis outriggers have welded-on tabs which presumably stop the bolts turning when attaching a nut.  BUT............the BJ8 uses shackles with captive splined shoulder-bolts, so the welded-on tabs are redundant.

Further confusion comes into play when one of the shackle pairs has two 1/2" diameter bolts which are too big for the holes in the bracket on the chassis.  However the other shackle has one 1/2" splined bolt and one 7/16" ditto which fits the chassis bracket perfectly.  

I know which is theoretically correct, but does anyone else have an answer, please?
