Superdog Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 What Glenn said. I'd try the ones from PAI, I've used other parts from them and all have been good quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution thomastractorsvc Posted October 30, 2015 Solution Share Posted October 30, 2015 The PAI are good quality I have put them on both the Superliner and that 1970 KW I had. The KW ones are identical except part# and color. BTW if you decide to get one from a dealer get from KW I paid $45 for set last January. Quote Robert"I reject your reality and substitute my own."

AZB755V8 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 I got a set from Ebay. Mind you that I like Mack parts but thats what I am replacing torn Mack pins. The quality is good they have a bluish color. They do work and hold the hood, what else are they suppose to do? The only thing is do not tighten them down to much as the pin starts to widen and will not locate the let the hood fall into place. Normal tightening is the key. I'll get them again if needed.

I was more concerned with fit/sizing, and maybe to a lesser degree durability. Mine are so wiped out I didn't know what they 'should' have looked like or the dimensions. Its good to know they're the right thing. Quote Fun is what they fine you for!My name is Bob Buckman sir,. . . and I hate truckers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
