911 3.0sc to 1969 conversion. Bonnets differences

[noboco]

Hi everybody!

As some of you know, I want to make some kind of a early RS clone. So I'm installing install 1969 long bonnet on my 3.0sc.

Question is:
Do I need to rebuild a lock socket in car's body or not? I mean:


Will it work or upgrades needed?

Yes, you have to change that. Also, the fenders, lights, bumpers and other things.

Thanks Javadog!
Soo... Where to buy it? What is name of that part?
Will I need to weld it or...?

[tonizzos]

i think you can also buy an fiber bonnet that has the lock socket for the SC....so you dont have to cut and change

Tonizzos,
Thanks! That's right! Maybe my fiber bonnet is "SC-ready". I need to check it.

To make the conversion correctly, you need to change it. It requires cutting out the old parts and welding in the new ones. Most people call it a lock panel.

You might try a search. The procedure has been documented many times before.
