Is there any interest in a GP on Aerocatch hood pins? I would need to sell 6 pairs to make it a go. Please let me know if you are interested. PM, email ablaine (at) cruzio (dot) com, or call me 831 427-3296 evenings every day.

retail is $86/pr no lock, or $96.75/pr with lock, flush or plus flush. If we make the order minimum I could do 5 or 10% off that, shipped free in the lower 48.

I have been interested in these for a while, but always assumed they were made out of 6061 aluminum. I don't think I would trust plastic latches to hold my hood on, with the ORR and land speed racing in my future. Is there a "metal option?"

The plastic housing carries a stainless steel lock pin that engages an aluminum conventional style pin, so the engagement is metal on metal. The plastic housing is what connects the tension loads from hood surface to metal pin, and has enough surface area that I would be comfortable for an ORR car.

Aerocatch does have a variety of products, check out their website (be patient) and there may be a different model that you'd feel better about. http://www.aerocatch.com/
