if you mean the leaf spring, that all stays the same ( original ) and the rear leg of the chassis kit is welded to the sub rail where it makes contact.
let me know if you need more info

my chassis kit has a small that lines up with the inside large flat bolt that the front leaf springs bolt through, so I was assuming that you can use a longer bolt as to make it a bolt in kit?  ? this I am unsure of. fred |

Hi Fred Where did you get the chassis kit from and a photo might help. I have used 2 of the CRS chassis kits and they have fitted as Craig indicated however the 2nd one I used I picked up on Ebay and the guy had welded 2 bits of flat on the rear pieces so instead of welding it he could unbolt it and remove it but these bolts did not go through the spring bolt. If that makes any sense  Regards Neil H |

the top image shows the rounded part that is shaped like the spring holder part and that hole lines up with the spring bolt.
the second image shows another hole that lines up with a drain hole under the car (not sure what this is called). Sorry am not good at explaining.

PS Candy is not home so I did all this myself.

unsure I think it is home made from the FB forum, he was selling them around Sydney???. it looks like it will fit well just need to know how to fit it. I am thinking of enlargeing the hole at the front spring support. Then tack welding around the support bracket for the spring. This way it still uses the original bolt in its original position, except now it will be house with in the enlarged hole. hope that made sense.

could someone tell me if a eh/hr or any other early Holden rear spring bolt is the same diameter but a little longer for use with this kit.

Hi Fred, the eh and hr bolts are a completely different design to the fe fc. Therefore you would need to have some made like the fe fc ones but with extra thread.
cheers
