I have a buddy that has a lift off hood and all 4 corners require pins. I know must hoods you can use pins up front but anyone know how to lock the rears? I dont know the brand of the hood but it does not use the stock hinge mounts, it has it own mounts. I found this on ebay and its good to lock the front of the hood but need some sort of direction on how to lock the rears?

Must Be Used Together With Factory Hood Latch.

Those locks are not designed to hold down the hood. They are locks ONLY.

These are the type that were being asked about in the original post:

View attachment 388243

These types of pins are not designed to hold down a hood. The installation instructions include a warning about attempting to use these pins without another means of securing or latching the hood.

Do a search for "Airlocks" or "Dzus Fasteners". They are the kind of fastener used to secure a lift-off hood. If you have a hinged hood but are not using a hood latch, you'll need a regular set of hood pins or some other means of securing the hood other than the type that are indicated in the picture above.
