Do a search for "Porsche 914-6 GT" with the quotes. Many of them have hood pins.

Haven't needed the front two even at Texas Motor Speedway or Mid Ohio... or on the road either.

Good luck

Sorry to hijack, but why do some people have 4 hood pins ? Shouldn't 2 be enough ??? or are you not using the factory latch at all ??

Not a hijack and I've found two to be enough without the factory latch. But I'm using a steel hood. With a fiberglass (and perhaps CF) hood I would definitely use four.

In the latter case it might be overkill but over many years I like to over-engineer against vibration damage in rigid materials. The factory latch would be redundant in those cases as well except that a street car may need an inside lock for security.

Gussets are good.

Mine has 4 pins (carbon fiber hood) because that's what the factory 914 GT had!

I did the 4 pins GT-style with the thin Getty lid and no stock latch. With the steel lid I used 2 pins plus the stock latch.

This may help. For the outer/rear one, the pin can go directly in the location where the rubber stop normally resides. For the inner/front one, I fabricated a simple aluminum bracket and riveted it in place.
