Default Installing hood pins on ALL 4 corners.

Couldnt find anything online or through search on how to do this on an 88 crx. Bought a parts car that came with a hood but the under cage on the hood is no longer there. They guy i got it from said he was using it on a track car. And I think im going to go that path with my parts car. So how do I go about doing the rear pins? The front pins are pretty self explanatory to me

i had a buddy talk about doing this, he was going to weld a plate off the edge of his strut towers and mount them there but he never really did it cause the fronts by alone worked fine even with no bolts in the back.

Thing is, with the ribcage thing gone, nothing for the stock hinges to mount to. I'd like to get some kind of use out of this hood.

he didn't have the stock hinges bolted, just the front 2 hood pins in it stayed down fine. think about it the shape of the hood makes it so only the front lifts in the wind, only 2 is fine even without the hinges

Sounds like it would flop all over the place.

That's its it. It's called the skeleton. Couldn't think of the name. I'm not gonna do it. The hood is too flimsy without it.
