Sorry Ian, missed this post at the time.

Are the hooks stong enough?
Yes. the tensile strength of mild steel is 42kg/mm2. So you can support the average male (84kg) on 2 square mm of mild steel rod.

A 6 mm rod (8mm - thread) is 28 square mm in cross section

Even allowing for the stress concentration of the thread spreading your weight over 3 * 8mm hooks should be safe, though use a penny washer to stop it pulling through the board.

You won't, at normal weights, straighten out an 8mm rod bent round a 30 or 32mm chassis tube either
