Harry Hockley 1.6 airbox?

[AndyGSi]

I remember reading a how-to fitting guide in either Revs or Total Vauxhall for a Harry Hockley airbox for the 1.6 8v engine. It was a good few years back and I've had a look on the HH site and it doesn't appear to be listed. Does anyone know if they are still available?

Cheers.

You're right enough, it was a Blydenstein airbox, not a HH one - my mistake.

I remember it was a lot less restrictive than the standard box and made quite a difference to performance.

Is the company still in business? There doesn't appear to be any sign of them on the net.

All it was, is a std Bosch fit airbox, the deflector plates inside are snapped off & you cut a large hole in the front to suit some trunking fed from the grille. Use a high flow replacement filter element & job done.
