It had threaded inserts that you run bolts into. I can't tell from your pic if those inserts are metal and if they are threaded. and whatever you do, do not try to use that hood without proper hood pins in the front or aerocatch latches I can't tell if they're threaded inserts either, they kind of look like regular drilled holes. Definitely going to be alot safer running hoodpins on that hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RassCar Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 For reference, here's a pin on hood. It's literally pinned (or bolted) on from the outside. Usually attached with dzus fasteners like this one. If yours is a standard bolt on hood then you'll still want hood pins/latches at the front for security.

Joosebox22 Posted February 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 so a pin on hood is how the hood that you sent me goes all the way around like that?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a couple different ways to do it, but that's the usual way (for drag cars at least). Pin on hoods also may not have provisions for a hood latch or hinges.

Prokiller Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 doesn't look like the hood you bought is a pin on. when you take it to the body shop, they should be able to put in threaded inserts if it doesn't have any. from your pic, it doesn't look like it does.

ttocs Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 most people remove the hood stops at the bottom and put their pins in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
