Front exhaust box replacement

[Nanny]

Have purchased a new front box and the fixings to go with it for our 1.9d 2003.  Picture two is what’s on the car and picture one is of the new bolts. Please can someone give me some help as I cannot see how the new bolts correlate to the old

It looks from the photo that the original is a stud with nuts on each end rather than a bolt?
The bit under the spring may be a separate sleeve, looks like the new bits are a simplified version.

Thanks for that hopefully then we will be able to separate the joint by removing the lower nut and spring, replace the gasket and attach the new box with the new spring and nut ??

I think someon has been at that before. Nip into your local exhaust supplier or Citroen dealer and get them to pull up the parts diagram
