I bought a set of Ford Racing hood pins, and they are short about 1", anybody have a source for longer Pins? Good option to tack weld the top bolts to the radiator brace & go with that? The boxed in underside of the Radiator support is taking up the extra inch or so.
Wadda you think?
BTW First post, so here's a pic.

Try the pins that Shelby sells, the ones made by Scott Drake. They should be plenty long enough.

Summit also has 1/2inch pins that are 5 inches long. I think thet're made by Moroso. Also, I believe the Shelby pins come with brackets to mount them so you don't have to drill the radiator support.

I had the same problem with a stock hood. A trip to the local hardware store for some allthread rod, a couple of coupling nuts and a generous coat of loctite solved the problem
