Front bonnet complete lock assembly.
OE Match front bonnet (hood) complete lock assembly designed as a direct-fit replacement for the original Porsche lock mechanism used on early Porsche 911 (1965–1973) models. The complete assembly includes the lock mechanism, striker and catch, mounting points, and connection interfaces for the bonnet release cable - ready for direct installation without modification.

Fits:
Porsche 911 1965 - 1973

Diagram ref no 10 and 12

The front bonnet lock assembly secures the front lid (bonnet/hood) in the closed position and interfaces with the inner release cable to allow controlled opening from inside the cabin or bumper area. When the release cable is pulled, the latch disengages and allows the bonnet to pop open. The assembly ensures the hood stays closed at highway speeds and only opens when the correct release action is taken.

Function:
•  Primary latch mechanism: Holds the front bonnet securely closed
•  Release engagement: Works with the inner release cable to allow bonnet opening
•  Precise engagement geometry: Ensures the hood seats correctly every time
•  Durable closure: Resists vibration, corrosion, and repeated use
•  Safety locking: Prevents unintended bonnet opening while driving.

A proper lock assembly is important for safety, security, and fitment - a worn or faulty latch can make the bonnet difficult to open or close securely.

Over time the original front bonnet lock can suffer from:
•  Wear and play in the latch mechanism
•  Corrosion from exposure to moisture
•  Sticky or stiff operation
•  Cable and striker misalignment
•  Difficulty opening or closing the hood.

A worn lock can make it hard to access the front luggage compartment or cause the hood to rattle or fail to stay securely closed. Replacing it with an OE Match assembly restores smooth, reliable latching performance - improving both function and safety.

When to replace. Replace the front bonnet lock assembly when:
•  The latch doesn’t hold the bonnet securely
•  The release cable slips or sticks
•  You hear rattling or noise from the front hood at speed
•  The lock shows signs of rust or binding
•  You are restoring or refreshing the front end of a classic 911
