Hood & Deck Pinning Kit

The MR. GASKET Hood & Deck Pinning Kit is a professional-grade fastening solution designed for vehicle enthusiasts who demand secure hood and deck retention during high-performance driving or competition use. This kit addresses a critical safety need: preventing unwanted hood or deck lift caused by aerodynamic pressure, impact, or vibration that could obstruct visibility or cause vehicle damage. Whether you're building a street rod, preparing for track days, or securing aftermarket hoods, this pinning system delivers reliable, maintenance-free security.

The kit features precision-engineered steel pins with a 0.438-inch outer diameter and 4-inch length, paired with large 2.5-inch outer diameter scuff plates that distribute clamping force evenly across the hood or deck surface. Torsion clips provide quick-engagement and quick-release functionality without requiring tools, making installation and removal straightforward for both shop and trackside use. Chrome plating protects all steel components from corrosion while providing a polished appearance. The complete hardware package is included, ensuring you have everything needed for immediate installation on compatible vehicles and hood/deck configurations.

This pinning kit is ideal for street rod builders, drag racers, weekend track enthusiasts, and classic car restorers seeking OEM-style hood security. The compact kit weighs only 0.55 pounds and ships in a standard 4.25 x 6.25-inch package, making it easy to stock or transport. Installation requires identifying appropriate mounting points on your hood or deck and drilling pilot holes to match the pin diameter—no welding or permanent modifications necessary. Verify hood and deck thickness before ordering to ensure pin length compatibility with your specific application.
