Default Where does the parking brake return spring hook up to the frame?

My question refers to the long spring to the equalizer bar underneath the car. I know where it goes on the equalizer bar but the other end to the body, where does that hook up? I noticed two very small holes about 3/4" apart in the frame which I am wondering if a bolt goes in there to hold the spring hook. Searched every picture on here and online with no luck.

No, the hook goes in the holes.

Thanks for clarifying that and posting the picture. It looks like it will be a p.i.t.a to weave it in those holes, but hopefully not. Will get at it soon in the garage, thanks!

No, it's easy. Connect to the frame first, then hook the other end to the brake arm. Lots easier than doing the arm first.
