would you trust this hood pin?
first of all, I have a glass hood on my s10...looking for any way to lose a little weight of the nose, I came across a company called quik latch. they have actual hood pins that are much larger than this, but they want $350 for them. yea fukin right!
here is the smaller version of the same thing that you can get for around $50-$60. would you guys trust these to hold down a glass hood? i have hinges on the back side of the hood that will stay. this way i can lose the hood latch along with all of its mounting hardware, cable etc. i get tired of having to get in my truck to pop the hood (drivers door is against a tight wall when in my garage)

the only thing i see wrong with this style is the weight of the hood would keep relatching it, i feel like over time the spring in those latches could get weak.
idk though. just thinking out loud here.
^^was also thinking this

Why not put a piece of plate between the nut and the body of the latch? I doubt you'd need thick plate, you just want more surface area.
