Aerocatch 120-2000 mount hood pins, black

These hood pins are made as durable as they can be, working as perfectly as new after years in service. Just be sure that your body shop installs them into holes drilled slighter larger for the aluminum pins, so to minimize galvanic corrosion from steel-aluminum contact.

Antes de estos probé 2 marcas de hood pins y se rompían muy fácilmente. Aerocatch siempre será la mejor marca para hood pins ya llevo 2 sets para dos cofres y no he tenido ningún problema de decoloración por el sol o que el mecanismo se atore.

Very nice, sturdy latch setup, glad I went with it. It took some time to install (it's an odd shape), and I had to fabricate some brackets for the aluminum studs it fastens to, but it's not chintzy and it works great. Looks pretty cool too. To help the hood pop up a bit when unlatched, I sourced some springs and plastic toppers to put around the stud/catch/thing and push up on the latch body; gives it a very positive, solid feel when shutting or opening. I also replaced all the hardware with stainless to prevent rusting, and two years later they're still working great as the day they were installed. Edit: These have been on my vehicle just over 2 years now, never garaged, and they still look great! I was worried about plastic degradation after being in direct sunlight for so long, but so far, so good.

Easy installation and holds up to abuse

After switching to a aftermarket fibreglass hood, it would flex and constantly want to lift up on the highway. I was afraid the thread inserts would rip out of the hood while driving. These hood pins were quick and easy to install and work great. The hood no longer moves and its a quick and easy step to pop the hood.
