That's a great tip, thanksYou can also have a little less tension on the latch by loosening the "spike" on the hood 1 turn.

Re: best hood pins?
You could just forgo the hood pin idea and the latch. Just bolt a big spike in the hood catch hole. Drill through your hood, drill a hole through the spike and put a nice chrome clip in it. 
You would have to have a spring on the spike so that when you released the clip the hood would pop up.
Just kidding. I'm just throwing out another demented idea for the hell of it.
