<VV> Floor pan stops

[Les]

Thanks Craig,

Looks like my problem is that I don't have any hook! Just an oval shaped 
hole in a bracket welded to the floor, one on each side that lines up 
with the loop in the seat bottom. I assume the hook is supposed to bolt 
into the oval hole and can be adjusted side to side to match the seat loop.
(This is a convert so the rear seat back doesn't fold down.)
