There seems to be some interest in the front hood and rear deck lid pins that I made. I searched the garage and found two of the three pieced that I used to make the plates. Basically I used a piece of scrap 1.5"x1/8" tube, two plates and a 1.25" steel ball to form my die plate. Material was 22ga 304 stainless steel. I clamped a 3x4" piece of steel between the two plates them gently pressed the ball into the tube. I did a couple practice pieces until I found the depth that I wanted. After pressing them plates, I used a template to scribe the outline of the plates and make the holes. From there is was just time to cute out the plates, use the belt sander to bring them to the final shape and then drill the three holes.
The part that does not show in the original pictures is the part that mounts to the body. I threaded some 1/2" aluminum bar stock then drilled a 1/4" hole through the center. Added a counter sink on one end and squared off the other end. It needs sharp shoulders on the inside so the push pins will not work themselves out. I also made some aluminum 'nuts' to lock everything in place.
Lots of time for each one, but it's what you expect with custom built, hand made parts!
