Yes, the bolts(Grade 12 & 130mm in length) go through the brackets, but they also all the way into the oem support bar. The OEM support bar in conjuntion with the brackets are bolted directly to the chasis of the car.
Another thing I want to point out is that I feel you guys may be missing, the bar literally cannot freely rotate downward without hitting(even if there were no bolts holding it to the brackets at all). The bolts themselves aren't all that is keeping the bar from rotating.
The reason why the OEM bar isn't up to standard to support harnesses themselves is the bar itself, not the chasis mounting points on the sides.
