hood pins?

[wgpaintballer]

I jus ordered my 4" cowl from cervinis and its a lift off.. what is the best places for pins, should i use 4, and should i get the locking ones.. basically dont want my hood damaged or flying off lol..

I'd be looking for a Zeus fasteners as opposed to pins. They're quick locks that are fastened and unfastened with a flat screw driver and are flush with the panel surface.

yeah i would look in the one mentioned above. the hood pins cause straches and dont look good after a year or so. they start to rust and stuff

Rust depends on which brand you go with. The Mr. Gasket pins are notorious for being cheap pieces of crap, as far as rust-resistance goes. I think Moroso has a nicer set out there for not much more dough.

you can get the dzus fasteners from Summit or Jeg's. They would be the way 2 go as opposed to hood pins.

I just installed Mr Gasket pins on my SVO hood, easy job, just remember measure twice..cut once. I used a "unibit" on the hood..the job was rediculously easy and quick...one drill from pilot to finish size. I can see pins rusting after some time...however for the price of them, replacement would not be an issue at all cost wise.

someone talk about the rear pins!!!!! WHERE DO I PUT THEM or is there someting I can buy

 

[Mustang928]

You want to get stainless steel hood pins or fastners... You definately need to add some to the rear of the hood, beause once tou go over 45MPH or so. The hood, the rear will begin to come up(off) the car.

COME ON SOO CLOSE TO THE ANSWERS!! WHO SHOT KENNEDY AND WHERE DO I MOUNT REAR PINS!!!!!

 

[NOSNotch]

alot of guys keep the hinges and put the pins thru one of the holes in the hinge and then drill the hole at the back

 

[Nutzy19]

I like that answer. Now we are getting somewhere. Anybody have experience doing this ... Hoods been sitting in the garage for months now...

try attaching pin to hood hinge with greas on the tip...get under the car and raise the hinge until the pin contacts the hood...BAM locator for the pilot hole. Same basic premise you use to locate the holes for the front pins.
