You can use a small socket the size of the fastener with a bolt & nut & tighten it to make a small recess in the hood for the fastener to set in.They are much nicer than hood pins!

With a 6 pak hood its a real good idea to have at least one in the front middle. More if possible. My son has issues with his and he's only going 10.50's

Look at this website for good info on Dzus fasteners. I have about 50# of them from when I was in the Army, they just scrapped them. Tim

Thankxxx guys..................Not liking these things and two broke tightening them so I`m using all of the fastners except for the spring loaded lock piece and running my alum. pins through em. Different and way more reliable than the crumbling Moroso pieces I waisted my money on but hey, what else would I be doing w/my time............
I know some dont like the hood pins, but I think they hold better than the other things. I had dzues fasteners on my hood with a hemi scoop, and the air tried to rip the hood off at 120. Now whether it was because I didnt have enough, 8 of them, or in the wrong place, dont know. But I have 6 hood pins, 3 across the back and 3 across the front, hood never moves at 130 so far, looking for more in a few weeks.
Personally, I think you made the right move, but I would make sure you put one in the middle in the front down lower than the corner pins. That hood is going to try and lift in the very front in the middle.

Run at least three across the front, I like four with my six pack. If you are breaking the springs then you have the wrong depth springs and zues. Mine dont break at 150+.
