Default Hood Pins (real ones)

Hey guys.. I want REAL hood pins... Honestly, I don't like the Ford Racing ones.... I prefer the look of the CDC fake ones... does anyone know where I can find the real version of these or have any other recommendations??

Moroso sells them through Jegs and Summit:

I have the Ford Racing ones. Had to make brackets to extend the reach 1/2"...which negated having to drill into my header panel--after I already did that!

I ditched the phillips screws and used some stainless capscrews from Home Depot

Those are the same as the Ford Racing ones. He was looking for the "hairpin" clips.

Man, I have welded up so many hood pin holes on restos that the thought of installing them just seems so wrong on so many levels.

I think you'll be OK if they go where mine are

Thank you very much! How about if I wanted to push it a little bit more to the corners (wider)? Do you think there will be an area where I can do this?
