Hinge Pin & Clip Assy.

The Hinge Pin & Clip Assy. by FIVESTAR is a precision hinge assembly engineered for hood and trunk applications on performance and classic vehicles. As a mechanic working with restorations and hot rod builds, you'll recognize this component as essential hardware for smooth, reliable panel operation. Whether you're servicing a restoration project or upgrading worn OEM hinges, this assembly delivers the repeatability and durability that separates professional work from quick fixes. The compact design makes it ideal for tight engine bay spaces where accessibility matters.

This hinge pin and clip assembly uses a dual-component design: the pin itself handles the rotational load and articulation, while the integrated clip retains the pin securely in place and prevents unwanted separation during vehicle operation. The engineering focuses on minimal play and consistent engagement—critical factors when panel gaps must remain uniform after repeated opening cycles. Weighing just 0.03 lbs, the assembly is lightweight yet robust, with dimensions of 2.75 x 0.45 x 5.7 inches allowing seamless integration into OEM and custom hinge mounting points. The clip mechanism is spring-loaded for positive retention without requiring additional fasteners or modifications to existing hinge bosses.

Restorers and performance builders benefit most from this assembly when replacing corroded or damaged hinge hardware on classic muscle cars, trucks, and specialty vehicles. Installation is straightforward: slide the pin into the hinge barrel and secure the clip, a task that takes minutes without specialized tools. This component is compatible with most universal hinge systems and works equally well on hood, trunk, and door applications where FIVESTAR-pattern hinges are specified. For anyone rebuilding a drivetrain or refreshing panel fitment, having quality hinge hardware on hand prevents comebacks and ensures your work meets professional standards.
