H Stuart,
There are two types of chassis used on RK saloons:
Up to late summer 1929 (early type)
After Autumn 1929 (1930, uncoupled type)
My October 1929 car uses the latter type and the outer ends of the crossmember are bolted straight onto the side rails of the body, i.e. the inner steel panels that the running boards fix to.
On the earlier chassis, the body brackets would bolt to the floor in the same way that they do on a Chummy.
Hope that helps, attached, photos of the front and rear of my car.

I'm pretty sure this is original for a 1929/30 car; this car is virtually untouched and unrestored since it left the factory.
