Sparco Hood Pins & Fasteners

Sparco spring fasteners are spring-loaded securing elements from Sparco, designed for mounting on the tailgate. The set is one-size and belongs in the car accessories category.

The design is built around a metal spring connecting two attachment points, so the tailgate stays pressed down in the closed position. Below you will find the look, build and use of these fasteners.

Detailed look of the fasteners

The fastener has an elongated, slim form. The centre is a tightly coiled spring in a metallic, silvery shade. At one end there is a flat catch with a round hole and a bent hook with an embossed marking. At the other end sits a triangular plate with two rivets, and a thin cable with a catch runs from it. The catch elements have light-coloured plastic inserts at the ends.
