Does anyone know where I can purchase race specific parts for a mini from?
I’ve seen a steering wheel drop bracket that I believe is used on Miglia racers that allows the steering wheel to be angled better but I cannot find them anywhere. One came up on eBay a while ago but I didn’t win the auction and now I don’t have a picture of it or even know where to buy one. I could probably make one using some steel tube and a Rose Joint but I would prefer to buy and fit if I can.
Cheers, Luke.

Hi thanks for the reply but that is not what I was referring to. The one I have seen is a a tube affair that has a rose joint for the steering column to pass through. It would need to be welded onto the lower dash rail. It might have been a one-off and as such cannot be purchased anywhere but the guy selling the one I saw said it was from a Miglia racer.
The search continues…
ahhhh ok my bad thought they were just going to be the same as the standard ones.
would pkeep searching ebay in that case and if nothing turns up as you said, have a go at making one maybe
One off part tied into the roll cage. You will have to either get lucky with one off ebay or make it yourself
