V-brake on Cannondale Quick carbon fork question.

I have just been given a Cannondale Quick carbon fork plus V-brakes for a 700c hybrid I am building. I think I understand the fitting but would like opinions please. As far as I see there are no removable bosses for this fork but the V-brakes screw directly into the fork. There are separate fitments for the tension spring holes. Am I correct in saying that these fitments are put between the brake and fork and the pressure of bolting the brake will hold it in place? I've temporarily fitted them and they seem to work OK, but I don't really trust that the tension fitment will stay firmly fixed under repeated operation.

Here is a pic of the fork and brakes:
