The chrome plated pins are worthless, and would like to find replacement SS pins.

Thanks Car Nut, but I read the reviews on Amazon, and this one is typical:

These hood pins are not stainless steel but are chrome plated steel. They rusted on me in a few weeks so these should not be used on your fancy show car. The rust was not a big deal in my case because they were going onto a cheap car that were used as a safety device, not for cosmetic purposes. Aside from the wrong material (chrome plated steel instead of stainless steel), they function as described with positive engagement of the hairpin. I would recommend them as long as you first know that they are chrome.

Good catch!

The clips are only stainless steel, how deceitful.
