| Posted Friday, January 22, 2010 1:37 PM |
Pictured below are some current AeroCatch® imitations. Please take note that these counterfeit models...
Specialty Fasteners and Coast Fabrication are working vigorously to pursue all registered design and trademark infringements. INSIST ON GENUINE AEROCATCH®. |

| NRG Racing: Carbon Fiber Locking Flush Hood Pin Set |
| Body and handle made from weaker material; Pivot pins NOT welded in place (allows pins to fall out); No secondary lock button; Shear pin made from MILD steel, "carbon fiber" is merely a sticker on the surface that peels off; Lock cam nut held in place by 3 threads (with no thread lock feature the nut cam can fall off allowing latch to open); Keys captive in the unlocked position (needing 2 separate keys to open the hood); Hole in strike pin is off-set (making the pin weaker on one side) |
 |
