Steel Hood Pin Kit w/ 3/16in Flip-Over Clips

The Allstar Performance Steel Hood Pin Kit with 3/16-inch Flip-Over Clips is a complete fastening solution designed for racing vehicles and high-performance applications where hood security and vibration isolation are critical. This steel hood pin kit combines durable steel construction with chrome-plated hardware to provide reliable hood retention under high-speed and high-impact conditions.

The kit features a 0.5-inch outer diameter pin shaft measuring 4 inches in length, paired with 2.5-inch outer diameter scuff plates that distribute clamping force and prevent hood surface damage. The 3/16-inch flip-over torsion clips provide the mechanical advantage needed to secure the hood firmly without requiring excessive hand pressure. All mounting hardware is included, eliminating the need for separate fastener sourcing. The chrome finish protects against corrosion while maintaining a professional appearance in engine bays and under-hood environments.

Hood pin kits of this design are standard equipment on race cars, track vehicles, and street performance builds where hood flutter or accidental opening poses a safety risk. The torsion-clip mechanism allows quick hood removal for engine access while maintaining secure retention during operation. Lightweight at 0.58 pounds, this steel kit adds negligible weight to performance-focused builds. Installation is straightforward on vehicles with factory hood latch points or on custom fabricated hoods with drilled mounting holes.

Allstar Performance has long supplied the racing and performance automotive aftermarket with hardware engineered to survive high-stress environments. This hood pin kit represents the functional, no-frills approach that competitive builders and hobbyists value—proven design, corrosion-resistant materials, and complete assembly ready for installation.
