I am looking for some hood pins for my GB boss. Not like the cheesey ones that AM sells. I have seen some in pictures on some forums and in the magazines but can't find anyone who sells them. I have also seen some on the tiger racing hoods.

Aero catch is what I have used in the past, a little expensive but worth it.

That is exactly what I am looking for.

Or these flush mounted.

I have a set of those in my garage for my current car but I am concerned the stud isn't tall enough to allow the catch to secure. How tall was your pins?

EastTNMustang

I'll measure and let you know.

I got mine thru Dallas mustang...part #66089... Take a look and see if they match yours...it will take some time for me to measure.

With the aero catch pins can you put them closer to the stripes? I went to there web site but they don't talk about installation on a mustang.

Here is a pic where I placed my pin...it only sticks up 1.5" above the radiator support.

Cool thanks.

If your talking about more in the center than yeah. I used as a guide the rubber stoppers or bumpers for the hood on where to install mine on both of my cars and on my buddies 07

Those aren't exactly what I would call flush, the Aerocatch do have a completely flush system though that sits flush with the hood. http://www.aerocatch.com/aerocatch2

EastTNMustang

These are definitely more flush...lol

Brandon302

Hella flush even, though I do like how simple your pins are. The Aerocatch take patience and a steady hand to get the job done. Also if anyone goes with them I would suggest lock washer and nylock nuts for the bottom. Had one wiggle loose on me.

EastTNMustang

Do you have a pic of what the hood looks like underneath? How do they secure?

Brandon302

Why yes I do,



They didn't come with the backing plates and instead had nylock tiny nuts to screw into. The company I bought them through had plates which then spreads out the load and had nylock nuts attached to it. Now Aerocatch does the same. I also put a bead of calking between the hood and the locking mechanism so that no water got under it.

EastTNMustang

Do these grab/latch onto a pin on the radiator support?

Brandon302

Yes sir



Also not sure of the pins you have work but the Aerocatch snap in when completely closed and lock the pin through the post, then when you release the latch it stays locked until it is completely up. The website has a video that has a better description of this.
