I have a four point pin on and a bolt on hood. And it works for both. Although the key system will be more secure. But I couldnt find a set deep enough for my bolt on.<br /> <br /> <small>[ May 02, 2006, 03:41 PM: Message edited by: n8y8 ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>menlo pony</b> <br /><small>Member # 4301</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2006,4,3,1,5,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Originally posted by DOPE 50:<br /><strong> WELL IM ABOUT TO PUT SOME HOOD LOCKS ON MY FIBERGLASS HARWOOD HOOD AND WAS WONDERING WHAT WAS THE BEST FOR IT I HAVE BOTH TYPES OF LOCKS,THE ONE WITH THE KEY AND I HAVE ONE WITH THE PINS THAT GO THROUGH THE MIDDLE,WHICH ONE IS THE BEST ONE AND MOST SECURE ONE SO I KNOW THE HOOD WILL NOT FLY UP,LMK THANK YOU </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">What's up Dan, The pins are more secure than the locks (especially if you have the cheap "spectre" ones from kragen and sold online) <img src="http://static.summitracing.com/global/images/prod/large/spe-4261_w.jpg" alt=" - " /> . Mr. Gasket sells hood locks that are made out of a better metal <img src="http://www.midwayautosupply.com/images/mrgasket/1472_3X.jpg" alt=" - " /> , but the pins are definitely safer. The locks can shift and loosen while the pins are always in there. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>menlo pony</b> <br /><small>Member # 4301</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2006,4,3,1,11,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> By the way I have had both of those hood locks (had to buy the Mr. Gasket ones because the Spectre ones broke when I was locking them) and I wish I would have just gone with a direct fit, no locks. Honestly if you install the stock locking clip and and safety latch correctly then you will be fine. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
