Run cool with Hoodjax!

Who wants Hoodjax?

Hoodjax is a decklid stand-off device that I make for Beetles (all years) that pokes the top of the engine lid open for maximum airflow and cooling. Hoodjax has been proven countless times over the last 15 years to assist the cooling of high-performance big bore, stroker and turbo engined Beetles.

Around town, Hoodjax helps your engine deliver maximum acceleration at all times and reduces the 'hot idle' stumbles that often happen - especially in hot days in summer.

On the freeway, Hoodjax allows you to cruise at the speed limit on hot summer days with more 'in-reserve' cooling system capacity, for overtaking or those long, steep hills that sometimes see oil temps climb into the 'red' zone.

In many cases, Hoodjax are a cheaper alternative to the expense and hassle (and potential oil leaks!) of an external oil cooler.

Thanks to the use of quick-release R-clips, Hoodjax can be removed or replaced in seconds when conditions don't require extra cooling, or for when you wish to revert to 'stock standard' appearance. Another benefit is that your engine lid is now quickly removable for easy tune-ups and oil changes.

Written/pictorial installation instructions are provided with each Hoodjax. Hundreds of happy customers - including plenty of Forum members.

Hoodjax are zinc-passivate plated (shiny goldy colour) ready to fit, or can be painted to match your car. Cost of Hoodjax is $80 and I can organise delivery to anywhere in Australia (or international) via courier or Australia Post.

Hoodjax is a registered design: 149743

Yeah I'm interested. But won't the postage cost too much for such a heavy item?

They weigh bugger all..... couldnt be 1/2 a kilo??

Shouldn't this be in the Bazaar?

I've used them on my turbo oval and they look great and work really well .
PS . Have tested them to 122mph , so far !!

lol... 122 mph! That's close to 200 kays! Jeez!

BUMP for summer 2007!

I thoroughly recommend Hoodjacks for All beetles...

they help cool down everything in the engine bay...

and that has to be a good thing...

I have them fitted to my clubcar and whilst the greater cooling is a bonus, I like the fact that you pull two clips and the lid comes off for easy access to the engine bay without banging your head (or plural if in Tasmania)

Thanks for the raps, blokes 🙂

anyone else want one, while I'm at the post office?

They are great they work a treat on my oval. Just love it when men tell me my engine lid is open they must think that I'm a silly female untill I tell them it's meant to be like that to cool my big engine lol. Then they look silly 😂😂
Good way to get the blokes to chat me up.

Hey...i was one of those men🤓

They don't look as silly as those deck lids half open, they look crap.

I would rather have the engine cover open at the top
knowing My engine bay is collecting nice cool air....

Much Much more than than having the cover closed...

Lee

Mine look cool.

Go the Hoodjax! 😁

.... happy with mine! 😎

awesome product.
