Description

In high-speed racing, a hood latch failure isn’t just a mechanical issue—it’s a safety catastrophe. While standard steel hood pins are heavy and prone to rust, the Longacre 52-23510 Aluminum Hood Pin Kit offers a professional-grade, lightweight solution for securing aftermarket fiberglass, carbon fiber, or thin-gauge metal hoods.

Sold as a complete set of two (2), these pins feature a 3/8″-24 thread and are CNC-machined from high-strength aluminum. Not only do they shave crucial ounces off the front of your car, but they also provide a clean, “factory-race” aesthetic that won’t corrode over time. Whether you are building a Dirt Late Model, a drift car, or a high-end track day build, these pins offer the perfect balance of mechanical security and professional finish.

Key Features

Ultra-Lightweight Billet Aluminum: Machined for maximum strength while weighing significantly less than traditional steel pins, helping to reduce front-end weight and improve weight bias.
Corrosion-Proof Finish: The natural aluminum construction is inherently resistant to the elements, ensuring the pins won’t rust or seize—critical for cars that see rain, mud, or frequent washing.
Precision 3/8″-24 Threads: Features fine-thread pitch for micro-adjustments, allowing you to set the perfect tension on your hood or deck lid to eliminate high-speed flutter.
Universal High-Performance Application: The 3/8″ diameter is the industry standard for most racing series, providing a slim profile that remains incredibly strong under aerodynamic lift.
Complete Installation Kit: Includes two pins, scuff plates, and lynchpins (hairpins) to provide a matching, professional look across the front of your vehicle.
