I wonder if some day, even vintage cars have to be converted as it may become socially unacceptable to drive a dirty carbon burning car

With today's announcement about banning petrol and diesel cars by 2040, where does everyone think that will leave vintage cars and more importantly, VW Campervans? Do we feel we will see conversions to gas for our bays or electric conversions? Could this be the death of the VDub engine noise we...

Does anyone know the bleed nipple size for 1971 brakes (6mm or 7mm)?

Looking for some second hand steel wheels for a 1971 bay. I will be repainting them so not worried about condition as long as they are not damaged. Will pick up if not too from GL54. Happy to pay for shipping if not too expensive.

Cool idea, thanks
