[Tigers] Interesting Item in my fastener purchase...

[Larry Mayfield]

Well, that was intuitively obvious, now wasn't it.  NOT, lol..... Wasn't a footman the guy who opened the door on the horse drawn carriage and helped the passengers to and fro?  Not an obvious association to ma at all...must be a UK thing.  

Many thanks for th e answer!

Larry;

I can't often answer ‎some of the more sophisticated questions posted here, but I do know the answer to this one:
The Footman Loop is the U-shaped metal bracket mounted on the inside of the boot lid, and two more that the false floor pivots on. The false floor also has a strap on it that hooks into the one mounted on the boot lid to hold it up while you are rooting around looking for your Jack and factory tools!

Ok, so it has been a while getting back to refurbishing my Orange car, B9471136. I am beginning to work on the interior making it poresentable again and was parsing the pile of stainless steel fasteners I purchased some time ago.  Each function or location is specified on the little zip bags and one in particular caught my eye. It says screws for “footman loop”. Now, I have no idea what that is, lol. Anybody enlighten me?
