Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    Hi this is a long shot but possibly somebody might have heard or come across this question. I currently have a 1971 mgb gt with spoke wheels and wondered if more modern tyres could be fitted on these rims .
    I have heard that 175/70/14 would suit but nothing is really confirmed in any post. Maybe somebody has actually put tyres on spoke wheels and knows a size that works. Any information would help me so much with my new car.

    No recommendation, but it sounds like it might be a worn prop UJ. Any decent mech could do this
