Mike,
This is where the rubber exhaust mounting bracket goes but there should be =
two of these nuts, it looks like one of the holes was welded over. You will=
 have to install a rubber bracket in place so you will know where to drill =
the second hole and I believe there is an opening underneath that corner pi=
ece so that you can go and weld it in place or drill the hole and use a =93=
T=94 nut.

     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 pho=
tos of the rear left leaf spring at the rear hanger.  I have all the hardwa=
re 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 t=
he jam nuts on one end and the big nut and lock washer on the other.  I det=
ermined 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 wa=
y, but it wasn't bad.
    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?
