Re: Hood Pins Photo Etched Help
Yep.
Reference photos would help you. the Ford Focus WRC uses that style of hood pin. The round disk is the scuff plate that goes on the hood, the pin with the hole goes through a hole drilled in the hood. The other piece with the 'wire' coming off is the 'handle' and retaining cable to stop the pin being lost when it pulled out to open the hood.

Re: Hood Pins Photo Etched Help
vric use the scuff plate then drill a hole in the
hood and use a sewing pin it will look better then the flat pin they give you the 4 small outer holes are for screws or rivet's. my hood pins had key locks on my old camaro 1/1 car

Re: Hood Pins Photo Etched Help
Eric, go to rally-live.com and look in the photo archives, try the 2002 Tour de Corse Wallpaper section and you should be able to bring up a high-res picture of the Focus with those pins.
I can't post a link as I am at work and can't go on that site from here. Or look here: http://perso.wanadoo.fr/eric.evain/i...01/focus5l.jpg

Well, basicly my problem is this part (in the red circle)
 how it fit with the round part ? The best picture i found is this. Is the pin horizontal ( º--- )?

Re: Hood Pins Photo Etched Help
Yes, the pin is horizontal, the ring is 'through' the pin and is sprung so it lays flat.
I have a really nice photo of the pin assembly on my home PC if you can wait a few hours?

Re: Hood Pins Photo Etched Help
I've uploaded a couple of photos
  Let me know if you need more, I might have some among my Focus reference pics, but they're on a CD somewhere and it will take time to find and upload them.

Re: Hood Pins Photo Etched Help
That top one Ales posted is exactly what you're looking at, the ring is a slightly different shape but it's the same pin.
Here's an overhead shot showing how it is sprung by the offset of the holes:
