Hotchkis 1760 Quick Release Billet Hood Pin Kit User Manual
1760 universal hood pin kit
Thank you for your purchase from our new line of Hotchkis parts.
Please call us at 877 - 4NO - ROLL if you have any questions
regarding the service or installation of your Hotchkis Performance products.
Special Note: This is a universal hood pin kit, which is designed to hold and secure your front
hood. It is universal and is not specifically designed for any particular vehicle make or model.
It is up to the installer as to how and where the hood pin is mounted. Please mock up and
measure to make sure your vehicle’s hood and engine bay can accept this kit. Do not drill any
holes until you find a proper location for the hood pin. The instructions given below is a
generic guide showing how to install the hood pins on a car that did not have hood pins prior.
1)
Mount the Hood Pin
There are 2 mounting points to worry about when installing hood pins. One is the mounting
point for the hood pin itself inside the engine bay. The other is the mounting point for the
hood base on the top side of the hood. The hood pin mounting point usually dictates where
everything needs to be located because you’ll need to find a flat mounting surface in the front
area of the engine bay (e.g. radiator brace). The mounting surface shown in the diagram is a
generic square for instructional purposes.
