Hood hold down pins like on the race cars, Where, how, etc? Options

[Dr Evil]

I have no locking mechanism for my engine lid and have seen (I am pretty sure I have seen this) in the past where people have use lock down pins to hold them down.

Mostly I see the pins on racer cars and mustangs and such. They are the type with the pin that goes throught the stud that goes through the trunk/hood/or engine lid.

Anyone have anidea where to get, and how to install? Any alternitive ideas? Was my description clear as mud?

you're local race shop should have quite a choice of hood pins

if you can't find anything local, Pegasus usually has what your looking for (or some other online race shop)

I'm leaning toward Dsuz sliders
These slide over a small barrel, they're a lot smaller and more subtle than regular hood pins

Pip pins are also nice!
