Those things suck: The lock portion is cast out of pot metal and easily fatigues. I suggest you use them only for fishing weights, otherwise stay as far away from them as humanly possible.

Ya lost me. A hoodpin that's not a pin.......?!
Maybe a bolt or a Dsuz fastener...?
What's wrong with a traditional pin & retainer?

The latch covers can also be painted to match the hood.

AeroCatch® - new design of bonnet pin, available in locking or non-locking versions – see how it works.........

i have the locking pins on my 92 vert. i bought mine from Napa. They've been on there for probably over 4 years. And i've never had a problem with them.

i had a hard time allowing (hypothetically)someone to break a window window, pop the hood and cut the alarm speaker and then have all day to rig my car up. so i installed them.

They are welding in so the don't move on there own. i installed them as is and they allways moved on me and then i had my body guy weld them in for me. Like i said i've never had a problem with them as long as there welded in.
