Porsche Racing Hood Pin / Retaining Rings

[WDNoon]

Can anyone point me in the right direction to purchase one or more of these front bonnet (hood) pin / clip / retaining ring things ???

There were four on the front of my car to retain the bonnet. The car is a 914/6 GT Factory Built Car. The material appears to be mild steel and they are rather crude in construction.

Each is approximatel 2 inches / 5cm / 50mm at its widest point.

I would pay a finder's fee for anyone's time, effort or engergy in assisting me.

Warm regads,

Bill Noon

You might try Gary Emory at Parts Obsolete in McMinnville, Oregon. 503-835-2300 or GaryatPartsObsoletedotCom

It appears just "funky" enough that he might know about them.

I think these are used on many cars, including 'Merican Iron. I saw a set very similar to this on a Mustang GT350 the other day.

If you go to your local motorsports hard parts supplier. They are very similar to what is being sold to racers today.

Hi Bill,

Those look like the current retaining clips we use on the 996 & 997 RSR and Cup cars. The only difference is they are powder coated red. We have them with a wire leash and with out the wire leash.
You can call me at Porsche Motorsport of North America (714) 546-6939
ext.14 or email me rgrago@porschemotorsport.com.
Hope this help.
