They are no more and have not been doing anything for about 20-25 years.

And your post seems to be missing words.

The legendary John Chappel owned Howley Racing and also started Advanced Products and what became the K&N empire in Europe.

Was bought out and changed name to Racespec. You could contact Lee Costello as his old man used to work at Howley.

Don't know if Phill Hepworth is still about.
