anybody recognize this 's' hook, rear of car

Hi,

I am working on finishing up a fuel pump install. When jacking up the rear, this hook fell from the middle of the car just in front of the rear. Can anybody tell me what this hook does? where is goes?

Thanks

John

Looks like a parking brake cable retainer. Check post 11 of the following link:

Yup, my parking brake cable is hooked on that.

There should be a tab on the floor pan, pass. side of the center tunnel.
