Description

When it comes to securing high-drag hoods and deck lids at triple-digit speeds, strength is the only metric that matters. The Longacre 52-23600 Steel Hood Pin Kit is the “go-to” choice for racers who prioritize maximum shear strength and long-term durability. While aluminum pins are great for weight savings, these steel pins are engineered to handle the massive aerodynamic loads found on Stock Cars, Drag Cars, and high-performance road racers.

Sold as a complete set of two (2), these pins feature a 3/8″-24 fine thread, allowing for precision height adjustment to ensure your hood sits perfectly flush with the fenders. The steel construction provides a rigid, unyielding anchor point that resists bending, even in the event of a minor front-end impact. Finished with a durable plating to resist the elements, this kit provides a professional, permanent solution for any race car bodywork.

Key Features

Maximum Tensile Strength: Manufactured from high-grade steel to provide superior resistance to aerodynamic lift and vibration compared to lightweight alternatives.
Precision 3/8″-24 Fine Thread: The fine-thread pitch allows for minute height adjustments, ensuring you can “dial in” the perfect tension to eliminate hood flutter and improve aerodynamics.
Corrosion-Resistant Plating: The pins and hardware are finished with a protective coating to prevent rust and seize-up, ensuring smooth operation in all weather conditions.
Universal High-Performance Application: The 3/8″ diameter is the industry standard for most racing series, providing a slim yet incredibly robust profile that fits most pre-drilled chassis tabs.
Complete Installation Kit: Includes everything needed for a professional install: two steel pins, scuff plates to protect your paint/gel-coat, and heavy-duty lynchpins (hairpins).
