An end fitting for a fuel assembly. A lower plate having a pin extending perpendicular thereto at each corner slidably receives a main body portion on the pins. Stop washers or nuts on the pins prevent the main body portion from sliding off the pins. A hairpin shaped spring along each side of the main body portion is positioned between the plate and main body portion to resiliently bias them apart. The end of the spring against the lower plate is offset from the end of the plate to preload the spring tension.
