What is this pin?

[AKimball92]

Buried in the junk on my work desk I found this pin and do not recognize it. Does it belong on the x1/9? Past projects include headlight repair, BWM, HLRM, and the ongoing engine build. For all I know it could be for the house storm door I replaced.

Better check the hinges of that new storm door, I think one is missing its pin.
Actually I have no idea and am curious if someone comes up with the answer.

Don't recognize it and I've seen tons of fasteners in the tear down of my 79 parts car and the build of my 81.

It’s for the rubber targa hold-downs in the frunk

Wow, great spotting Mark!! I had to go out and check for those pins in my own X!! I would never have guessed that the pin pictured came from that location!

cheers, IanL - NZ

What are the odds that the exact same pin is used to secure a storm door as to secure a Fiat X1/9 top?

Thanks Mark! Tomorrow I will go our and verify that all mine are present and then put a marked label on it for future use. If all mine are present, I have no clue how I got an extra here in MI. I replaced those rubber blocks back in Indiana before moving here.
