I may be dumb...but,

Anyway, I am having a heck of a time finding a descent not overly done hood pin kit. I am sick of the hood flopping all over. I can find plenty of appearance pins, I want fricken REAL ones....god.

Anyway, I want ones with no cables. Just a regular silver flat piece with a fricken codder pin....

Point me in the right direction please!!!


Thanks!

the shelby pins are the best, IMO.

available with or without the logo, and also available in black.

I agree. I'm about to get the Shelbys for my car. However the OP doesn't want a lanyard.

Maybe more expensive or fancier than you want, but these are my favorites. No lanyards, no flutter.

Ringbrothers Store

Those are way too much money.

For real. I would like to have the old Shelby kind, twist and turn. I know the new KR has them but apparently Ford is not going to sell them. Any aftermarket versions of these out there?

The Shelby billet pins are nice, although the original stainless pins are a little cheap.

You don't have to use the cables..

The lanyards are trivial to remove.

As would they be trivial to cut...or....steal non-lanyard hood pins.

Cotter pins, that is.

I know that but the OP might of not known that.

This is probably not going to be much help, but I was reading either mm&ff or 5.0 and there's a company that sells concealed hood pins. You don't see them when the hood is closed. I've searched on the internet, but couldn't find them. If I do, I will post. The unlatch with the stock hood release. Sorry I can't say where they're from right now...

and hence the reason for my post!

As in if you don't want to use the lanyards, they are easily removed from the cotter pins.

Hoods pins why?? never understood them on a street caR?

if you ever experience the hood shake, you will know. it looks like your hood is gonna rip right off. i had it happen once. the edges of the hood moved up about 3-4 inches per side. thats pretty scary @ 80mph!

I hate to say it - since I'm one for stealth - I really do like the way those Shelby hood pins look (of course I'd get them w/o the logo - very glad they offer them that way).

Question for those with hood pins; do you remove your stock latching mechanism or do you use the hood pins simply to augment the latch?

Check out western motorsports.

I have the non logo Shelby/Scott Drake hood pins. I removed the lanyards. Mine are in addition to the center latch.

I'd love to see someone with a set of those Aerotechs on their car. I wonder how they hold up, too.
