Bonnets / Locks & Latches

Bonnet strap kit - Tan leather. 
Replica Tan leather hood / bonnet straps for all Porsche 356 models. It delivers a secure fit while restoring the authentic, period-correct look of the bonnet.

Fits:
Porsche 356 - 1950 to 1955
Porsche 356A - 1955 to 1959
Porsche 356B - 1959 to 1963
Porsche 356C - 1963 to 1965

This kit secures the bonnet using durable leather straps and proper mounting hardware, ensuring both function and reliability. At the same time, it preserves the vintage authenticity and finishing details that are essential for restorations and show-quality Porsche 356 models.

•  Mounted across the front bonnet of Porsche 356, 356A, 356B, 356C models (approx. 1950s–1960s)
•  The straps run over the bonnet and fasten to chassis or body anchors under the front hood edge, holding the bonnet closed

Why replacement matters:
•  Original leather straps often deteriorate over time (crack, stretch, break), compromising the security and aesthetics of the bonnet
•  A faithful OE-Match replacement ensures correct dimensions, leather quality, and mounting hardware so the strap fits securely and looks authentic
•  Restoring the strap helps maintain original appearance, adds structural safety (prevents bonnet flutter or opening), and preserves the value and integrity of the classic build

Front bonnet handle base gasket set.
This set provides a complete gasket base kit for the bonnet (hood) handle on the classic Porsche 356A (1955-59) models. It includes two precision-moulded rubber packings: part 35658315 and part 54058316, both originally used to seal the base of the bonnet handle assembly and prevent water ingress, reduce vibration, and maintain a clean, factory-correct appearance. 
SET OF 2

Fits:

Diagram ref no 3 + 4

Manufactured to match OE specifications, from high-quality rubber to match the original hardness, profile and sealing geometry, this is ideal for restorations, trim replacement or addressing weather-proofing and fitment issues in aging bodywork.

Over time, the bonnet handle gaskets can harden, crack, or lose their shape, leading to poor sealing, water ingress, rattling, or handle misalignment.

Replace this gasket set when:
• The bonnet handle becomes loose, leaks, or vibrates.
• The existing rubber is cracked, misshapen, or missing.
• You’re restoring the body, repainting, or fitting a new handle.
• You want to bring back the original fit, seal, and finish quality.

 Fitting  new Gasket Set restores proper sealing, alignment, and long-term durability — preserving both the authentic look and weather protection of your classic Porsche 356A.

The OE Match Front Bonnet Lock Lower Part is a premium-quality replacement bonnet latch component designed to restore the secure operation and correct alignment of the front bonnet locking system on compatible classic Porsche models. Manufactured to OE specifications for fit, strength and durability, this precision-engineered lower lock mechanism works in conjunction with the upper bonnet lock to ensure positive engagement, secure bonnet retention and smooth release when the bonnet is opened.  

Fits:

• Porsche 356A 1955-59
• Porsche 356B 1959-63
• Porsche 356C 1963-65  

Diagram Ref No 5

Manufactured from high-strength steel with a durable corrosion-resistant finish, the lock assembly is engineered to withstand repeated opening and closing cycles, vibration and continual exposure to moisture, road debris and changing weather conditions. Precision-manufactured to replicate the original Porsche dimensions and mounting points, it provides direct OE-style installation, making it ideal for restoration projects, accident repairs or replacing a worn, damaged or corroded original bonnet lock component.  

What This Product Does:

• Forms the lower section of the front bonnet locking mechanism.
• Works with the upper bonnet lock to securely retain the bonnet.
• Ensures smooth bonnet opening and closing.
• Maintains correct bonnet alignment when latched.
• Helps prevent accidental bonnet opening during driving.
• Restores factory bonnet locking performance.
• Replaces worn or damaged bonnet latch components.
• Forms an essential part of the front bonnet locking system.

Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:

• A worn or faulty lower lock component can compromise both convenience and safety. An improperly secured bonnet may rattle, sit out of alignment or, in severe cases, fail to remain fully latched during driving. It may also increase wear on the upper lock, release cable and surrounding bonnet hardware, resulting in more extensive repairs.
• Replacing the original component with the OE Match Front Bonnet Lock Lower Part restores secure bonnet engagement, smooth operation and factory-correct alignment. Manufactured to OE standards using premium-quality materials, it provides factory-style fitment, excellent durability and dependable long-term reliability, helping maintain the safety, functionality and originality of your Porsche.
