Hood Pins
what are you guys using for hood pins? the set from summit i have rusted after one week after being outside. not only do they look like shit, but it makes them harder to get off and i now have some decent scratches on the hood. so i'm looking to replace them with something of far better quality.

http://www.pegasusautoracing.com/Images/M/3037.JPG The captured pins are the only way to go. Next car I build will use them for sure. If you don't want to buy a whole new set get some of the clevice type pins like are shown in the captured set. They're much easier to work with than the hair-pin type that are shown below. http://www.pegasusautoracing.com/Images/M/3035.JPG |
The one I have is similar to the bottom picture. Agreed taht they are a bit of a pain.

You can buy the clevis pins at any good hardware or farm store. They make life a bunch easier.

I have 4 of the clevis style on the shelf, I'm still trying to decide to go dzus or use them on my current build. |
I have the aero installed on my hood, very nice peices, also helps so you dont forget to latch the hood pins. Ive seen it before, smashed windsheild arent any good

i have that style hoodpin. they are aluminum. hard to get a rivet in the slider part though.. had to powder coat them because strangely one of them faded
|
is there any way to lock these things? my hood weighs next to nothing and requires 4 pins to hold it on. im worried about someone stealing the hood and/or stuff from the engine bay.

nevermind^^ i had not looked at aerocatch yet. they have nice shit
