Broken Hood Pin Clip - 2007 Shelby GT

Recommended Posts

Hey all,

 

One of my (original equipment) hood pin clips has broken on my 2007 SGT. It will not longer stay tightly closed. So, the question is, is it possible to find/buy/purchase one hood pin clip? I've searched all over the internet and can't seem to come up w/ a suitable one, plus I really want to make sure its original. I hate to have to pay $75 including shipping for a full new hood pin set to just replace one hood pin.

 

Thanks for any input!!

You can pick them up at most any home improvement store for a $1 or less. They just will not have the lanyards.

 

I use a set i picked up from Homedepot for day to day and then change out for the original lanyard set for display/car shows. From day one I was worried about some punk undoing the pins and I not noticing until I'm flying down the road and the pins have scratch and chipped the paint as they bounce around.

Thanks El Shelby. I had not noticed them in hardware stores before, but now that you mention it I seem to recall quite a selection of similar things at my local Ace Hardware, and I have a Lowes not too far away. I'll have to check them out.

Might be worth buying the full set just in case something else breaks in the future. Plus you'll have piece of mind knowing you're putting a Shelby part back on the car.

 

 

Thanks tekheavy. Yes I am thinking this also. I might even go w/ the billet upgrades, if I'm going to be spending that much.
