Source for Hood pins / Bonnet pins?

[wafflemaster]

I managed to forget to twist the little quarter-turn pins that hold the "hood" on...and ran over my own hood after it blew off. Ugggh.

It's basically a few scratches, but I can't find one of the pins. Should I call TMI or is there another online source? Thanks!

I bought a bunch because I knew I would lose a few. PM me your address and I'll throw some in the mail for you.

I believe atom 3 and atom 2's may have different dzus connectors. best check with TMI or post a pic of one you have already

Good point. I have them for the 2s.

2 and 3s do have different pins. I tried to source them from distributors but no luck at all, TMI can sell them to you at around $5 a piece, don't forget to include the rubber washers.

Thanks guys, here's a picture of the fastener from the hood of my Ariel 3 --

I was hoping Pegasus would have something, but no luck -- https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/ad...oryID=HARDWARE

Those are definitely different than the ones from the Atom 2

see if you can find the part number on southco's website.

DZUS® Turn-To-Close, Turn-To-Open Quarter Turn Fasteners - Southco

unfortunately they have 1700+ versions. So you can ask TMI if they can give you a part number

Then this distributor is where I get replacements

For example. these are the ones for the Atom 2 at $1.33 each

If the distributor does not have them, contact southco directly. They sent me 10 as a "sample" for free (though I doubt they would regularly do that)
