Blonde Moment With Purple Canti's

[Jussa]

Ok i've got these Dia-Comp Purple Ano Canti's which i am (Was) going to clean up and use on a build, the trouble is the locating pin from the spring wont locate onto the hole on the Canti mounts (See Picture) Or do i just bolt them on as tight as i can? Then if i do that what provides spring pressure to reset the Cantis after breaking is applied?

Am i doing something wrong? Am I having a Blonde Moment, maybe watching to much TOWIE lol

Please anyone, shed some light on this

The spring is not supposed to go into the hole on the brake boss with these brakes, you achieve tension on the spring with a spanner on that nut at the back, then lock the fixing bolt down whilst keeping the spring tensioned with the spanner.
