[urq] URQ hood pin alternative

[Claus Vegener]

Hello Magnus
It was actually a picture of that car, that convinced me, that it was the 
best solution.
But I can see, you have the same problem as I have about the fit at the 
middle of the hood, because the Kevlar "works" a bit. .
I plan to install just a single extra flat hood-pin of the type you often 
see on US-muscle cars where the hole hood is to be removed
and have to turn it with a flat screw-driver. Guess Summit have them.

I will save you the trouble on getting those Aerocatch hood pins. I bought a
set with the key but they will not fit on the Sport Quattro hood because the
Aerocatch depth is to deep for Sport Quattro hood. The hood is too thin
around that point and would cause the Aerocatch unit to sit above the hood
about 3 to 5cm above the top of the hood. But I still have the Aerocatch
LOCKING Plus Flush Hood Latches that I will sell for $80.00 never even got
to mount them if you think you can make them work.

My sport hood is arriving today and I already know Im going to need to
use hood pins.  I went searching for something better than I have seen
in the  past and boy did I get lucky.

I stumbled across these on Deft Racing's site.  They are actually made
in the UK but distributed here thru Deft.   I kinda like them - gonna
order a set...

Not sure how many of you sport-hood guys are using pins, just thought
I'd pass it along.
