Hood Pin w/Flange and Gundrilled 4in Long

The WEHRS MACHINE Hood Pin w/Flange and Gundrilled 4in Long (WM2594) is a precision-engineered fastening component designed for automotive applications where reliable hood retention under load and vibration is critical. Manufactured from aluminum and finished in clear anodized coating, this hood pin combines corrosion resistance with lightweight construction ideal for performance vehicles, street rods, and high-performance builds where traditional latches are replaced by quick-disconnect pin systems.

This 4-inch hood pin features a 0.5-inch outer diameter shaft with an integral flange base that distributes clamping load across a wider surface area, reducing the risk of hood buckling or deformation under repeated opening and closing cycles. The gundrilled construction—drilled completely through the pin body—allows for customizable retention solutions using secondary fasteners or safety cable systems. The clear anodized aluminum finish maintains dimensional stability while resisting oxidation in varied climates, making it suitable for both garage-kept show vehicles and active-duty performance cars. All necessary hardware for installation is included with each unit.

This hood pin assembly is preferred by automotive fabricators, hot rod builders, and professional detailers who specify quick-release hood systems for easier engine access, improved security against unwanted hood opening at high speeds, and cleaner aesthetic lines compared to factory latches. The gundrilled feature supports both pin-lock mechanisms and cable-safety installations, offering flexibility for different retention strategies. At 0.11 lbs per unit, weight is negligible—critical for builders optimizing vehicle dynamics. WEHRS MACHINE hood pins are recognized in the automotive aftermarket for consistent tolerances and reliable performance across thousands of installation cycles.
