What does your lower hood latch look like?
 

For you longhood folks, here are two lower lid latches for the trunk. One has a provision for the cable end to fit into, the other doesn't. Which one does yours look like? Please include the model year of your car in your response. Thanks!

I've got one of each. My 69 912 has a latch like the one on the left with the cable cover receptacle, and my 73.5T has a latch like the one on the right. Both cars have a rigid steel tube that lead to the housing on the bulkhead that holds the latches and they seem to be the same diameters. I did not follow the tube to where the cable enters so I don't know if the 73 has a shorter cover that ends at the tube opening or if the cable cover extends all the way to the housing, like on the 69.

Thanks L.J. I thought maybe the one on the left was for a 912 or a SWB 911, but PET shows the same part number from '65-'73 on both 911/912. I'll use the one on the right since that's what is on your '73.5T.
