Flush Locking Hood Pins

The AeroCatch Plus Flush Mount Hood Pins offer a modern and secure solution for fastening hoods, trunks, and tailgates, moving beyond the limitations of traditional protruding hood pins. Designed for a clean aesthetic, these 21st-century panel fasteners incorporate a robust internal mechanism. A stainless steel clevis pin securely engages an anodized aluminum strike pin, rated for a 650 lb pullout strength, all while being protected by an aerodynamic, high-strength plastic housing. The versatility of the AeroCatch design is a key benefit, allowing for mounting from above the panel, from the side, or even at various angles. This flexibility ensures it can adapt to different vehicle contours and custom installations. Operation is simplified with a built-in actuating lever that engages a secondary latch to prevent accidental opening, offering a clear visual indicator of the pin's status (disengaged, engaged, or latched). This kit, model 120-2000, is the non-locking version and is designed for a top-mount flush installation, featuring a 6-bolt flange that accommodates minor inaccuracies in panel cutting. The kit includes two AeroCatch bodies, two red aluminum strike pins, four M10 nuts, four M10 washers, and two rubber bump stops. The high-strength plastic construction is paintable, allowing for full customization to match vehicle aesthetics. AeroCatch products undergo independent testing to ensure high safety levels, making them suitable for motorsport, rally, and street applications. Minor adjustments may be necessary during installation, and professional installation is recommended for optimal fitment, especially with carbon fiber or fiberglass components. The product is universal-fit. A California Proposition 65 warning applies.
