Re: four door rear seat back

this is a floor board clamp , used them many years ago. The two lugs go either side of floor joist pull handle back then tighten against side of floorboard with threaded part. Damn fiddly to use but if pushing boards against a wall you could push wall over if not carefull :wink:
