~Hood Pins and rust~
« on: February 15, 2009, 11:10:53 pm »
Does anyone happen to know a good brand of “hood pins” that DON’T RUST….LOL!
I’ve currently got a set made by “Moroso” and after sitting for a month…I’m already seeing rust on them. Is there any tips or tricks to keeping them from doing this?

Thanks in advance for your replies!

what's rusting the pins or the scuff plates? They make all different aluminum sets that won't rust.
