Hi Boys,

Congrats on the 725!...........Fun, Fun, Fun.........

 

Are you having trouble with the lanyard pin falling out of the main pin with the standard stainless plate hood pin set up?

 

If this is the case, the billet pin set from SPP comes with new lanyards and pins and works well (when properly adjusted) to cradle/support the lanyard pin when it is through the main pin.

.................and below is an incorrectly adjusted billet hood pin set up, where things just don't quite look like they fit together correctly...............
