1929 Coupe brace to body stands

[walkerlakeprinter]

I'm getting closer to putting my 1929 Coupe body back on my rolling chassis and I have most of the attaching bolts and wood pieces figured out and staged. Now I am wondering how the two T-shaped body stands are attached to the body. I haven't measured everything, but assume they attach under the rear crossmember under where the spare tire carrier is. However, I don't see any holes in the bottom of that where supposedly it rests. How are they attached?

I just went out and took some pics of my '29 coupe. Lighting's not great, but this might help.

Thank you for the photos. I went out and looked more closely at the crossmember and see the two holes on each side. I guess I was expecting larger bolts, but I see now that they come through from the top and the nuts and lock washers are underneath. Makes perfect sense now. Thanks!

One other note, on the other side of the body, the brace was attached with castellated nuts. No cotter pin though. Not sure whether that's the official way or the guy just had some sitting around.
