A&A Manufacturing produces these hood pins and most of their product line from their Michigan headquarters. Company president Jim Fairbanks takes great pride in this.
“For more than 50 years, our company has been dedicated to manufacturing and distributing the best American-made products on the market,” said Fairbanks. “Most of our products are designed by our customers, and our products are used around the world.”
A&A Manufacturing offers a selection of hood pins and related hardware.
You can order a kit for a pair of hood pins, in either 1/2″ (AA-048-1/2A, $9.00) or 3/8″ (AA-048-3/8A, $8.75). The kits include two hood pins, two lynch pins, two scuff plates, and four jam nuts.
If you just want the hood pins, no problem. The company offers them separately, with 1/2″ (AA-048-A1, $4.00) and 3/8″ (AA-048-A3, $3.85).
They also sell a 20-thread, 1/2″ hood pin boss bushing in 1″-long (AA-048-B1, $2.28) and 3/4″-long versions (AA-048-B3, $1.66). Add to that assortment a 24-thread 3/8″ boss bushing that’s 3/4″ long (AA-048-B2, $1.66).
A 10″ lanyard, with a lynch pin (AA-048-C, $0.88) or without (AA-048-D, $1.44), is also available.
In addition to the complete line of hood pins and accessories, A&A Manufacturing offers a wide array of quality chassis components at reasonable prices. They constantly introduce new products to their lineup. Their offerings include rod ends, spacers, bushings, clamps, brackets, and mounting hardware for a number of items, from shocks, to brakes, to fuel cells.
“We are a small family-owned shop that takes pride in all we do, all we sell, all we produce, and with the relationships we make with our customers,” Fairbanks said. “Choosing A&A Manufacturing as your source of components means a lot to our little family here.”
