Steel Hood Pin Kit w/ 5/32in Hairpin Clips

The Steel Hood Pin Kit w/ 5/32in Hairpin Clips from ALLSTAR PERFORMANCE is a complete fastening solution designed for race car builders, restoration enthusiasts, and performance shops seeking reliable hood retention. Hood pins are essential safety components that secure the hood during high-speed driving, preventing accidental hood lift that could obstruct driver visibility or cause aerodynamic instability. This kit delivers everything needed for a professional installation, making it the go-to choice for street machines, circle-track competitors, and show vehicles alike.

This kit features steel construction with chrome plating for durability and corrosion resistance in demanding automotive environments. Each pin measures 0.5 inches in outer diameter and extends 4 inches in length, providing substantial engagement depth for secure hood mounting. The 2.5-inch outer diameter scuff plates distribute clamping force across a wide footprint, minimizing stress concentration and protecting hood surfaces from marring. The 5/32-inch hairpin clips deliver positive locking action without tools—a quick-release design that balances convenience with safety-critical retention. All necessary hardware is included, eliminating sourcing delays and ensuring specification compatibility.

Competitors and street rod owners benefit most from this kit's plug-and-play design and proven performance record. Installation requires minimal fabrication on most standard hoods, with the 4-inch pin length accommodating typical hood thicknesses and reinforcement structures. The chrome-plated steel construction resists rust in wet storage and coastal climates, ensuring long service life. Whether you're preparing a vehicle for track events, vintage shows, or daily high-performance driving, the Steel Hood Pin Kit w/ 5/32in Hairpin Clips delivers the security and professional appearance expected from ALLSTAR PERFORMANCE's engineering standards.
