This, of course, prompted me to go out and look at the rear latch on my van. The chain is attached the same way. The chain looks to be twist link. This might be why the hook hangs like it does. For any serious rigging the bolt through the link with a side load would be right out. Chain is not rated to be loaded in that manner. For the purpose of attaching that lever it will serve. Properly done would be to replace that hex head cap bolt with an eye bolt with a small eye. Use a rapid link or two to attach to the lever.
