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

The front bonnet release cable connects the cabin release handle or lever to the front bonnet latch mechanism. When the release is operated, the cable pulls the latch open, allowing access to the front luggage compartment, fuel tank area, battery area, spare wheel, and service components.
Functions
• Connects the interior bonnet release control to the front latch mechanism

Why Replace This Part?

Replacing the cable helps restore dependable bonnet release operation and correct classic Porsche functionality.
When to Replace This Part
• The bonnet release cable is stretched, seized, frayed, or snapped
• The front bonnet is difficult to open
• The release handle feels loose, stiff, or has excessive travel
• The latch does not release consistently
• The cable outer casing is damaged, kinked, or corroded
• The front bonnet latch or release handle is being serviced
• The vehicle is undergoing Porsche 911 bodywork or luggage compartment restoration.
Where it fits on the car
This cable fits within the front bonnet release system, running between the interior release control and the front bonnet latch mechanism. It is used to operate the front luggage compartment lid on classic Porsche 911 models.

OE Match replacement upper latch assembly that secures the front bonnet (hood) on early Porsche 911 models (1965–1973). This latch engages with the bonnet striker to hold the hood firmly closed and works in conjunction with the lower latch and release cable to provide safe, reliable operation.
Fits:
Porsche 911 1965 - 1973
Diagram ref no 10
The upper latch serves as a secondary locking point for the front bonnet, helping keep it tightly sealed against wind, vibration, and road forces while driving. Its geometry and pivot action are designed to work seamlessly with the factory release mechanism, striker pin, and lower catch system for smooth opening and secure closure.
This OE Match version is ideal for classic restoration projects, rebuilds, or whenever the original latch has worn, bent, corroded, or no longer provides positive engagement.
The upper latch engages the bonnet’s striker when the hood is closed, providing a secure secondary lock that prevents the bonnet from lifting or rattling while driving. It also supports proper hood alignment and seals the front bodywork for aerodynamic smoothness and weather protection.
Function: Installed at the upper front mounting location of the bonnet closure system, this latch acts as part of a two-point capture system that holds the front hood closed. It retains the striker securely and releases smoothly when the interior release cable is actuated. Proper latch function ensures:
• Secure hood retention while driving
• Smooth, predictable operation of the release mechanism
• Even hood alignment and gap control
• Reduced vibration and wind noise
The bonnet latch is a critical safety and structural component of the front body closure system. A worn, bent, or corroded latch can result in poor hood engagement, hood movement or rattle, misalignment of gaps, or - in worst cases - unintentional bonnet opening at speed. Replacing an aged or compromised latch with an OE Match unit helps ensure secure closure, factory-correct alignment, and dependable release performance.
When to replace:
• Hood does not close or lock securely
• Clamshell alignment issues or uneven gaps
• Hood rattles or lifts under wind load
• Latch shows signs of wear, corrosion, or binding
• During restoration, body panel work, or release cable service

OEMatch Bonnets / Locks & Latches — Fit, Finish, Clarity
OEMatch bonnet, lock and latch items for Porsche models provide replacements designed to restore secure closure, accurate panel alignment and correct release operation. These parts are selected for application-specific fit and function and are a practical option when genuine parts are unavailable for older or rare Porsche models.
Available Types
- Bonnet panels and hinge assemblies
- Bonnet lock assemblies
- Latch mechanisms and catch systems
- Bonnet release cables and interior release handles
- Motorsport locking pins and quick-release systems
- Classic bonnet and latch reproduction components
Understanding OEMatch Bonnets / Locks & Latches
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts are made by the same company that produced your Porsche’s original bonnets, locks and latches. OE (Original Equipment) refers to parts matching original specifications for the bonnets, locks and latches and may be supplied by alternative manufacturers. Aftermarket parts offer alternative options, sometimes with enhanced features or better value. OEMatch supplies non-OEM bonnets, locks and latches engineered as direct-fit alternatives to OEM parts, made to original-spec dimensions and tolerances for Porsche models. OEMatch catalogues more than 4,000 individual part numbers and over 8,700 cross-references and continues to develop new lines to help keep Porsche vehicles on the road, covering items from gasket kits to hinges, catches and release systems.
Benefits Include
- Secure closure and consistent latch engagement to protect occupants and cargo
- Accurate panel alignment and gap control for appearance and aerodynamic sealing
- Reliable release operation to ensure easy, predictable access to the bonnet or front compartment
- Corrosion-resistant options and replacement seals to limit water ingress
Why Bonnets / Locks & Latches Wear and Fail
- Corrosion and impact damage to panels, hinges or latch bodies
- Cable fraying, corrosion or stretch leading to inconsistent release
- Worn pawls, springs or catches that reduce engagement security
- Misalignment from previous repairs or degraded mounting points
The Importance of Replacing with OEMatch Bonnets / Locks & Latches
Faulty bonnet locks, latches or release systems affect safety, security and weather protection. A compromised latch can allow accidental opening at speed, let water enter and cause electrical or interior damage, and leave the vehicle vulnerable to theft. Replacing worn or damaged parts restores intended operation, helps prevent secondary corrosion and maintains correct panel alignment and sealing on Porsche models.
