Just wondering if you can buy new rubbers for the engine steady bar( clutch side one)
from any auto place or does it have to be a mini supplier.
thanks

I know my Mini supplier has 'em, in fact he has a whole box of them. (Brickworx)

I know Nolathane used to make them, i dunno if they still do or if they're good/bad. I have stuck with the rubber ones.

Keep an eye on them. The centre hole in them is too big.. some people wrap tape around the steel bush to make it a bit tighter. :wink:

I've always used one of each, don't know why really, but I guess the rubber one takes the bigger bumps out, and the nolathane just does whatever the hell it pleases. Seems to have lasted 8 years now.
