What's Included / What You Also Need
- Included: the hood panel only.
- Not included: hinges, latch, handle, crest, seal, strut and paint. Move these across from your old hood or replace them.
- If your latch or strut is worn, see the upper front hood latch (JP-2049-0) and the 430N hood strut (68-1119-0). Both are listed for the 1965–1989 911.
- Matching long-hood panels: rear engine lid (JP-1816-0), front right fender (JP-1819-0) and front left fender (JP-1820-0). The engine lid is listed for the 1965–1973 911; both fenders are listed for the 1969–1973 911 and 1969 912 only.
- Aluminum alternative: aluminum front hood (JP-1811-0).
Installation Notes
- The hood bolts on to the existing hinges; no welding is needed to hang it.
- Test-fit and adjust it for gaps against the fenders, cowl and front bumper before paint. Expect normal panel prep, and some fitting work, as with any replacement panel.
- Move the latch, handle and crest across and check that the hood latches and releases correctly before final paint.
- Because it is a large panel, have the body shop or restorer who will paint the car do the fitting.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which cars does this hood fit?
The long-hood Porsche 911 from 1965 to 1973 and the Porsche 912 from 1965 to 1969.
Will it fit a 1974 or later 911?
It is not listed for those cars. Long-hood panels are used in backdate projects on later chassis, but that job involves more than the hood, and we cannot confirm fit on a 1974 or later car.
Is it steel or aluminum?
Steel. If you want the lighter aluminum version for the same cars, see JP-1811-0.
Does it come with hinges, the latch or the handle?
No. It is the bare hood panel with mounting points for the hinges and latch hardware. Move your hinges, latch, handle, crest and seal across from the old hood, or replace them.
Does it come painted?
No. It comes in a protective transport primer. Plan on normal prep, primer and paint before it goes on the car.
Will it bolt straight on with perfect gaps?
The hood bolts to the hinges, but like any replacement panel it needs to be test-fitted, aligned and gapped to the fenders, cowl and bumper on your car. Do that before paint. On a car with old accident damage or replaced fenders, the gaps depend on the body as much as on the hood.
Who makes it?
JP Group, the Danish parts manufacturer whose classic Porsche body panels are sold under the Dansk name.
What is the part number?
JP Group (Dansk) JP-1809-0 for the steel hood; the aluminum version is JP-1811-0.
