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

Front Lid Release Cable. 

The Genuine Porsche Front Lid Release Cable 91151106140 is an original equipment replacement bonnet release component designed specifically for Porsche 911 Targa models manufactured between 1970 and 1973.

Fits:

• Porsche 911 1970-1973 2.2L / 2.4L / 2.7L RS LWB (F)  

Diagram Ref No 24

Manufactured to Porsche's original specifications, this release cable provides the mechanical connection required to operate the front luggage compartment lid latch, allowing the bonnet to be opened smoothly and securely using the interior release mechanism.

Also known as a front bonnet release cable or front hood release cable, this component forms an essential part of the front lid locking and release system. When the driver operates the interior release handle, the cable transfers the pulling force to the front bonnet latch, allowing the lid to be opened.

Designed to match the original Porsche configuration, the cable provides the correct routing and length for the specified Targa application, helping maintain factory-standard operation without unnecessary modifications.

Over time, repeated use, moisture exposure, corrosion and general ageing can cause the original release cable to stretch, fray, seize or break. A deteriorated cable may result in difficult bonnet operation or complete failure of the release mechanism.

The Genuine Porsche Front Lid Release Cable provides a direct replacement solution for restoring dependable bonnet operation and preserving the original functionality of your classic Porsche 911.

Ideal for routine maintenance, front luggage compartment repairs and classic Porsche restoration projects, this component helps ensure reliable access to the front luggage compartment and associated service components.

What This Product Does:
The front lid release cable connects the interior bonnet release control to the front luggage compartment latch mechanism.

When the release handle is pulled, the cable transfers mechanical force to the latch, disengaging the locking mechanism and allowing the bonnet to be opened.

Its key functions include:

• Front Bonnet Release: Allows the driver to open the front luggage compartment lid using the interior release control.
• Mechanical Force Transfer: Transfers pulling movement from the release handle to the front bonnet latch.
• Reliable Latch Operation: Helps ensure the bonnet release mechanism disengages correctly when operated.
• Convenient Luggage Compartment Access: Enables access to the front luggage compartment and associated service areas.
• Smooth Cable Operation: Provides controlled mechanical movement within the release system.
• Correct Cable Routing: Maintains the factory-specified cable arrangement for the Porsche 911 Targa.
• Release Mechanism Support: Works with the bonnet latch, return spring and associated components to provide consistent operation.
• Original Equipment Functionality: Restores the original manual bonnet release arrangement.
• Preventative Maintenance: Replaces deteriorated cables before complete failure prevents normal bonnet access.
• Genuine Porsche Fitment: Provides original equipment compatibility with the specified front lid release system.

Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:
Over time, repeated operation, moisture, dirt contamination and general ageing can cause the original bonnet release cable to deteriorate.

Common signs include:

• Difficulty Opening the Front Bonnet: A stiff, corroded or damaged cable may require excessive force to operate the release mechanism.
• Loose or Ineffective Release Handle: A stretched, detached or broken cable may cause the interior release handle to feel unusually loose.
• Excessive Handle Travel: Cable elongation or incorrect adjustment may require the handle to be pulled further than normal before the latch releases.
• Bonnet Not Releasing: A snapped, seized or disconnected cable can prevent the front luggage compartment lid from opening.
• Intermittent Latch Operation: A damaged or poorly adjusted cable may release the bonnet inconsistently.
• Stiff Release Mechanism: Internal cable corrosion or friction within the outer casing can make the release handle difficult to pull.
• Frayed Cable Strands: Visible broken or frayed strands indicate deterioration and an increased risk of cable failure.
• Corrosion on the Cable: Moisture exposure can cause rust or oxidation, increasing friction and weakening the cable.
• Damaged Outer Cable Casing: Cracks, splits, kinks or deformation in the cable housing may restrict smooth movement.
• Cable Binding or Sticking: The inner cable may catch or resist movement due to internal wear, contamination or incorrect routing.
• Release Handle Not Returning Correctly: A binding cable or faulty associated return mechanism may prevent the handle from returning smoothly.
• Sudden Loss of Cable Tension: A sudden change in handle resistance may indicate that the cable has snapped or become disconnected.
• Difficulty Operating the Latch After Adjustment: Excessive wear may prevent reliable operation even when the release mechanism has been adjusted.

Why Replacement Matters:

• Replacing a worn or damaged front lid release cable is an important part of maintaining the convenience, reliability and original functionality of your classic Porsche 911 Targa.
• The front bonnet release mechanism relies on a secure mechanical connection between the interior release handle and the bonnet latch. If the cable becomes stretched, corroded, frayed or seized, the release mechanism may no longer operate consistently.
• A deteriorated cable can make opening the front luggage compartment increasingly difficult. If the cable breaks completely, the bonnet may become inaccessible through the normal release mechanism, potentially requiring specialist intervention to open it.
• Reliable bonnet access is particularly important on classic Porsche 911 models because the front luggage compartment contains important service and storage areas, including access to components such as the fuel tank and spare wheel.
• A correctly fitted Genuine Porsche replacement cable helps restore smooth mechanical operation, ensuring the pulling force from the interior release handle is transmitted effectively to the bonnet latch.
• Replacing a damaged cable before complete failure can help prevent inconvenient access problems and potentially more complicated repairs.
• Maintaining correct cable operation also reduces the need to apply excessive force to the release handle, which may otherwise place additional stress on the handle, cable connections and latch mechanism.
• For classic Porsche owners, preserving original equipment functionality is an important aspect of maintaining the vehicle's authenticity and usability.
• During restoration or front bodywork refurbishment, replacing ageing release cables provides an opportunity to inspect the bonnet latch, return spring, mounting hardware and cable routing for wear or damage.

• Porsche 911 1975-1977 3.0L Turbo (930)
• Porsche 911 1978-1989 3.3L Turbo (930)  

Diagram Ref No 12

The guide tube provides a protected and correctly routed path for the bonnet release cable as it runs between the interior release mechanism and the front bonnet latch. By supporting the cable along its route, it helps maintain smooth cable movement and reduces unnecessary rubbing, bending and contact with surrounding bodywork.

With a length of 1750mm, this OE Match component is designed as a replacement for an ageing, damaged, corroded or missing original guide tube and is particularly suitable for restoration or bonnet release system refurbishment.

What This Product Does:
The bonnet release system uses a mechanical cable to transfer movement from the interior release handle to the front bonnet latch.

The guide tube supports and directs this cable through the vehicle, allowing the inner release cable to move along a controlled path when the bonnet release handle is operated.

Its functions include:

• Guiding the bonnet release cable along the correct route
• Protecting the cable from contact with surrounding bodywork
• Helping reduce friction and unwanted cable movement
• Preventing excessive bending or kinking of the release cable
• Supporting smooth operation of the bonnet release mechanism
• Helping protect the cable from premature wear
• Maintaining the correct factory-style installation

Although the guide tube does not release the bonnet itself, it is an important supporting part of the mechanical release system.

Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:
After decades of use, an original guide tube may become damaged, distorted or deteriorated. Possible symptoms include:

• Stiff or heavy bonnet release operation
• Release handle requiring excessive force
• Bonnet latch not releasing consistently
• Cable movement feeling rough or notchy
• Release cable binding inside its route
• Visible cracking, splitting or deterioration of the guide tube
• Kinks or crushed sections in the tube
• Corrosion or contamination within the cable route
• Excessive movement of the release cable
• Cable rubbing against surrounding bodywork
• Premature fraying or wear of the bonnet release cable
• Difficulty routing a replacement bonnet cable correctly
• Missing sections of the original cable guide

It is important to inspect the release cable and bonnet latch at the same time, as a stiff bonnet release can also be caused by a worn cable, poor adjustment or a sticking latch.

Why Replacement Matters:

• The front bonnet release is a simple mechanical system, but dependable operation is particularly important because failure can make access to the luggage compartment and bonnet latch difficult.
• A damaged or collapsed guide tube can create additional friction around the release cable, making the bonnet release handle harder to operate. Increased resistance also places additional load on the cable, handle and latch mechanism and can accelerate cable wear.
• If the release cable is allowed to rub against surrounding metalwork because its guide is damaged or missing, the cable can eventually fray, bind or fail.
• Replacing a deteriorated guide tube helps restore the intended cable routing, promotes smoother bonnet release operation and protects the release cable from unnecessary wear. It is also a worthwhile replacement when carrying out a complete bonnet release cable renewal or restoration.
