[TPR] Hood pins coming out?

[Mad Dog Antenucci]

Nice job....I have had my decklid pins safetypinned for a couple years now....

Butnot before my beautiful reverse louvered steel deck lid came lose at about 160+ at SS and beat the hello kitty out of the roof and fender before ripping off....somewhere out between Mile 15-20 somewhere between Hike and Vegas you will find it buried under a few feet of dirt.....e a couple cattle watched me bury the remains...yea it was fugly.

The hood pin on the driver's side kept coming partially out.  Since the deck lid is off, I decided to tackle that little problem.  I marked the extent of the pin protruding at the very end, then using my safety wire drill fixture, installed a new hole in each pin.  I then sourced a suitable cotter pin to use as the keeper.

The photo shows the passenger side pin with the cotter pin
    installed.  The hood pin is not installed all the way, this is just
    to show you the solution.  I'll take another pic when it's all
    installed.

Been doing clean-up work most of the weekend.  The ZF is about as
    clean as it's going to get without media blasting.  The engine bay
    doesn't -look- the best, but it's essentially clean.   Waiting on
    the engine mount donuts and the radiator.  I should be putting the
    engine back in late this week.
