Hey, sorry to drag up an old thread, but how did you manage to swap out the plastic straps ? I bought some pirate black billet hood latches, and they use the original rubber straps. On the instructions it says to basically use a driver to push the pins out, but i've not been able to do it, and i'd like to check before i take a hammer to it. Any ideas ? or is brute force required.

thx

For any of you also considering Pirate MFG latches, i'd say avoid like the plague. You can see my review of them on Amazon.com and also a build thread on another well known hummer formums site.

Terrible customer service, shoddy product. I like the look now i've got them on, but were they worth the money (or more importantly the hassle) - absolutely not!
