My hood pin plates are getting scratched up. I think they are just aluminum. Is stainless the way to go? And where do I get them?

Amazing what a bit of sanding and power buffing can do...

Adjust the pins so they are taller.

Thanks. I think I’ll just adjust the pins a tad. That should help the most

This is what I'd recommend if they're being used as a backup where your latch is still holding the hood at the correct height. This being in the A12 section... aren't those lift off meaning no latches?
