Clamp On Hood Pin Mount Hinged 1-1/4in Dia 5-1/2

The Clamp On Hood Pin Mount Hinged 1-1/4in Dia 5-1/2 by WEHRS MACHINE is a purpose-built fastening solution designed for performance vehicles, custom builds, and competition applications where hood security and easy access are equally important. Whether you're working on a drag car, street rod, or track-focused machine, this hood pin mount eliminates the risk of hood flutter at high speeds while allowing quick removal for engine bay access during pit stops or maintenance. Built for drivers and technicians who demand reliability without compromise, this component integrates seamlessly into modern underhood systems.

Engineered with a 1-1/4 inch diameter clamp-on design, the hinged mount accommodates standard hood pin shafts while maintaining a compact footprint that won't interfere with radiator hoses, coolant lines, or other underhood plumbing. The hinge mechanism allows the pin bracket to swing freely for installation and removal, reducing installation time and eliminating the need for complete disassembly of surrounding components. WEHRS MACHINE's precision manufacturing ensures tight tolerances and minimal play, critical factors when hood vibration can lead to aerodynamic instability at triple-digit speeds. The lightweight 0.52 lb construction minimizes unsprung mass while the robust clamp-on attachment method distributes clamping force evenly, preventing core support or fender damage.

This hood pin mount suits bracket-style hood pin systems commonly found on race cars, vintage muscle cars, and high-performance street machines where factory latches are deemed insufficient or incompatible with carbon fiber or custom hood designs. Installation requires a mounting surface with adequate thickness and clamping capacity—typically the core support or front frame rail area. Verify your hood pin shaft diameter matches the 1-1/4 inch specification and confirm clearance with turbochargers, intercoolers, or other underhood modifications before final installation. This component pairs effectively with aftermarket hood pins from established manufacturers and integrates with both carbureted and fuel-injected engine bays.
