Airbox Question

Hi all,

Sorry if this seems a stupid question, but how will i know if a standard airbox will fit my engine/carb. is there anything i need to measure?

The reason i ask is because i am planning on cleaning up my engine so it looks more original. The engine in my golf is a HK engine which i believe is from a MK2 golf and looks like this;



I want to get rid of the airfilter housing and cold air feed as they ruin the look of the bay IMO and thus i am looking to replace with the standard plastic one;



Thanks in advance for any help

It won't fit (without modification)

The standard GF runs a solex carb and HK runs a Pierberg.

I like the metal HK airbox I think it looks more period than the plastic original.

Ok thanks VWinston, saves me wasting money on one trying to fit it!

My next question anyone know where i can buy a replacement cold air feed for it, that massive foam tube is horrendous
