- Today i fitted push button bonnet/hood pins. Then i timed one side to show just how quick and easy this job can be.
Hopefully this video can give you the confidence to install your own at home.

I actually learned something here. Adjusting the pins before drilling holes makes perfect since. So if the pins are not the same height the holes won't be even. You did a good job making this video.
Nice job!
Awesome, quick and to the point job! I will be installing my Aerocatch latches soon and it wont be 4:20. I wish it would be though haha
You can use a similar technique for aero catch’s just with two different size hole saws then cut between them with a cutting disk 👍
Questions.
How long was the boont pin.
I have a toyota celica mk2 4 head lights.
I can only see a length of 5.5 cm.
But does not seem long enough.
Cheers Ac
How are these holding up? Holding down the hood well? Good video BTW.
Yep they doing well they help keep the bonnet lines spot on also which I like
Un able to upload image..
What brand are those pins
Ep racing I think from memory
1:00 is what i did on my mx5 i had 2 holes in the end. lol
Would you recommend painting the part you drilled so it won’t rust?
Yes especially if your bonnet is steel. The rx7 bonnet is alluminium so not as bad corrosion wise
Do I still need my factory hood latch for this?
Personally I would if you can. I run my factory latch still as you never know how much air is going to get built up underneath. @robdahm is proof enough for that 🤣
Thanks for the quick reply! Rob dahm hood pins failed on him? And I can't run my factory hood latch, that's why I wanna know if these are strong enough
Have you seen the race vs the hoonicorn? I wouldn't say his failed more of a design issue as his car has a full flat floor no where for the air to go. And the latches are only rated to a certain force
Hmm,and how much did u pay for these? And can u link them?
These were a gift but if you search quiklatch they make some good quality ones
Love the accent! Where ya from? I'd have to guess south africa but honestly I've got no clue lol
