tail light wiring

I purchased T-5032 tail light wire bushings. I have a 1920 touring. The old ones were not on my car. I understand that the eyes are twisted on to holes in the frame and the wire runs through the eye but wasn't sure where the spring and fiberboard rectangle with 4 holes went and how it attaches. Can someone explain it and/or send a picture of how it works. Also if you can include where all the eyes attach as I have 4 in the kit but only see 2 holes. Thanks

Thanks. So what is purpose of spring and board that attaches. Is it supposed to keep the wire tight? Why wasn't and extra eye used I guess.

To keep the wire tight.

Those crafty Canadians only used 3 holes in the fibreboard, one for the spring, and just two for the wire. The spring is hooked into one of the loops on one of the split pins in the rear spring U bolts.
