I know where to get the pins at Joe =) I meant for the brackets... I am looking for the best/easiest way to just do it myself and this seems to be pretty good unless there is welding involved.. I saw a picture of your setup though.... were did you get yours brackets from Joe? They look good like they could have come stock. Haha I am gonna order the actual pins right now though so I will have those I remember looking around on the thread were the pic of your brackets were posted and it said that yours were from another kit that was for the Non-Twist style let me know if thats true and were I can get that kit at if so haha. Thanks man I probably should have just texted you this... too late now haha.

This is the only flaw with this kit...
You're using a 68 part on a modern Mustang.
The pins work well with the Trufiber hood but the brackets are useless, since they're not designed for an 05/10 Stang
The brackets I made are a lot of work for what it is (welding, drilling, grinding), but like I said, on a brand new Shelby, I had to do something clean and tight.

No clue, sorry.
I had the headlights off so I could tack weld those sleeves with the hood closed with the pins engaged.
That way, I had the perfect angle and length.
After that, everything was welded off the car...
