Default Functional Key Lock Hood Pins?????

I've looked everywhere and I cant find key locking hood pins that can be used without the hood latch. Anybody know where I can find a set?

If this is in the wrong forum feel free to move it. I wasnt sure where to post.

Did that. They all require hood latches. I want locking hood pins that can work independently.

No.

I have used 2-3 sets of these and others...if I had a latch I wouldnt need hoodpins.

In fact, if hoodpins require a latch are they even really hoodpins?

Are those the same as the ones at Pep Boys? The little teeth on the lock keep breaking off. I use normal pins in the shock towers as backup to the locks which I have in the core support.

Not sure if they are the same.

Secondary hoodpins might be a good idea.

On the other hand, if they aren't strong enough to keep the hood closed when driving, are they going to be much use as a lock?
