DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Hello every person.
I am sorry to waste your time if this is covered already but my search efforts sometimes are bad because I am improving my English but not very good at it.
I have the opportunity to take a bonnet/hood (which is correct?) from a 1971 911 that someone offer to me. It has some errors to tend to but I can do with time.
My question is before I give the money is to clarify if this bonnet can fit to a 1988 911 (for a potential backwards project that my mind is spending time on since the discovery of the backdating possibilities in the forums I have joined)?
I understand that I have the option to change the slam panel or not but otherwise ok to fit directly?
The seller assure me yes, it is all I need to do or not even if I accept to modify to use current slam panel and adapt the safety catch.
I plan is to take now because good price but keep until after winter when I am sure or not to do the body change backwards. If I decide not, I sell.
Many thank you for advice if you have some.

Will fit shape wise but as you say the latch panel is located differently. You can buy early look fibreglass panels with later latch panel location. Or what I did was have my late steel bonnet extended to look like an early bonnet, thereby retaining the latch panel location. Only place that I know that does this service is in the UK called Fenn Lane Motorsport.

If it's a good price then it's probably worth buying anyway. If you don't use it you can always sell it on and maybe make a few €s

Thank you Nige, it is much what I thought. I know this company, Fenn Lane because I take a sunroof deleting panel from them this week. They have good reviews on their pieces.
I am curious, how is it that with the long piece that you now reach the latch to free the bonnet?

Extend the safety catch/lever by about 25-30mm (the bit that you reach under the bonnet push to release) It doesn't make it awkward/difficult to open then.
