Leafspring bolts

[Todds82]

So, i decided to replace the leaf spring bolts and rubber cushions in my 82. It has a fiberglass leafspring. My question is, should the holes in the spring line up directly with the mounting holes in the trailing arm? My leafspring holes are a good inch back which sets the bolts at an angle obviously. It's that way on both sides.
Thanks!

Mine angle out to the trailing arm at the top. Not an inch but my cushions are pretty flat and cracked so I'm sure that alters the angle some. I wish I hadn't looked. One more thing onto the to do list.

Perfectly normal. All will be in line with the car sitting on it's tires.

Thanks Vettehead, i was kind of thinking that might be the case. I've only ever looked at them with the car up on blocks.
