Coilover Conversion Qustion

Quick question for anyone that’s installed a coilover conversion.

With the sleeve style coilover conversion for the front suspension (Rebel Racing/Elephant Racing etc.) how is the shock “captured” in the assembly?

The Elephant kit has a no-weld sleeve base and the Rebel kit seems to have a welded base, but those don’t fasten the shock to the housing.

And what I mean by “captured” is, at the rear for example, there’s a retaining ring installed in the shock body, and the bottom sleeve sits against that. The upper perch is retained by the shock bolt with the spring in between under compression. Everything becomes one assembly.
