Hi Michael, Yes - a stout bolt with both ends threaded, and a stout nut threaded on inside each spreader bracket tube. I believe those nuts and bolt are what keep the windward spreader bracket from pulling off the mast due to tension from the windward lower shroud (the four screws on the bracket plate probably aren't strong enough alone).
