Question Does anyone know what these things are called or where to get them?

I'm really not sure where to put this, but...

I am looking to make my own hood lock pins, but I don't know what the parts in RED are called or where to get them.

I know the weird looking nut, on the bolt, has a close looking screw counter part called a cam screw or worm screw, but I can't find the nut.

As for the lock, I figured it's called a tube lock, from others that i've found, but I can't find one with an end like that. The part with the little T pin, that goes into the nut.

And i'm not interested in hearing the obvious retorts of "Just buy those". If they would work, i wouldn't bother with this post!

Some help would be great, guy! Thanks!

They look like some kind of locking dzus (zues) nut. After a quick search I found these:

Hope that helps.

I appreciate the help, but that's just the same kit like above. I'm trying to find the parts that are circled in red

Someone has to know what those things, at the end of the studs, are called!

Yeah, they are something like them, but all I can find are the male type, not the female. I even tried looking through grainger and mcmaster-carr, but if you don't know what the hell you're looking for, you'll never find it.

I haven't seen these in years.

They are locking hood pins. I had them on my first 69 Camaro about 30 years ago.

I would try Summit or Jegs, maybe Speedway.

Good luck.

They would not be that hard to make.... cut the proper size cold roll to length and face them off on a lathe. Drill thru it before you make the three cuts with the mill. Trim the
bolt down on the lathe to get a press fit to the part you made, press it on and tack weld it. The bottom pin appears to be a regular old roll pin.
If you do not have a bridgeport, lathe or welder you could always buy a $30 hood pin kit.

Yeah, I was wanting to make my own, but can't find the parts. I just broke down and bought the kit. My luck, I'll find it now that I bought them, lol...
