I can see the brackets that are spot welded to the longs (the bottom halves of mine have disintegrated along with the bottoms of the longs), but how are the J-tubes held in at the top of the long at the front (where it comes through the long and into the cabin) and at the firewall in the rear (mine appears to have brushed on seam sealer around it)?

I was thinking if it's not too difficult it would make repairing the long easier. The lower half of the long needs to be replaced. The car hasn't been touched for at least 32 years and someone had done a bunch of patching to the longs from the cabin side (side of long angling to the floor) and bottom of long bridging to the underside of the floor. In other words, it was rusted out that long ago (before I bought the car), so you can imagine what it is like now.
