I think it was a 97....seats were a weird mix of colors, but I think that was an orvis thing. If I get back there this weekend I'll check it out for ya.

Clarification: Hooks are good, it's the brackets that are tweaked. Will need to get the clips for the hooks though.

It sucks, but they're worse than useless now, they're dangerous. If it was only the hooks it would have been ok. the only solution for bent brackets is new brackets.

You don't need the clips for hooks.

May see if I can snag the springs. Not too worried about the brackets being tweaked, they are still usable for my purposes. I don't plan on ever getting stuck. Then again, I didn't plan on breaking a rib or two last weekend either.....
I just need summat to hook to on the front, just in case.
