Default Aluminium Induction Box for Classics - WHERE?

Hey guys,
As my car came with an Blitz Induction Kit I am really after something like this...
A'PEXi - ALUMINIUM INDUCTION BOX
Trying to make sure the car gets a nice supply of cold air..

Does anyone know who makes them for classics? I only seem to find Newage...

I also just ordered this to help but it will not be fitted for a month or two..
SideScoop

Advice please chaps!
If I had my way the original airbox would be going back on but it didn`t come with the car

I just guessed it was quite a common thing and someone would sell something that fitted nicely without the hassle..
I would love one with a perspex top though and possibly some tuner logos.. Apexi etc..
ummmmm..
Can I really use my GCSE DT skill to do this... doubt it!

Unfortunately, there is not an 'off the shelf' item available (to the best of my knowledge).

The best thing to do is to cut the required shape for yours using cardboard. Then use this as a template and cut into sheet aluminium (or cut/saw the material of your choice).

I'm sure there are places about who will do this for you, but it would be a timely job and cost a fair bit.

Alternatively, run some induction hose up the inner wing to the filter to try and route more cold air.

Cheers for the input guys..
Have a look at the link to the Apexi website in the first post ellis..
I'm sure if you could make something like that people would pay reasonable money for it!
