Do red suspension arms make you go faster?

Dumb question, I see the steadies on the left and right of the gearbox, but what is the third lower steady?

3rd lower steady will be the original one fitted from the clutch side of the gearbox forward to the subframe.

Doesn't appear to be, only the bracket is left. I removed the original one off mine, seemed rather pointless after fitting the 2 rear.

Interesting, I don't think our local Minis had them fitted. Do you have a picture of how it is attached?

Do the rearward steadies (as per the original photo) attach to existing holes in the subframe?

No, subframe needs drilling.

I have 3 on the bottom and 2 on the top. I swear if I had no engine mounts it would just levitate there.

Are they NyLock nuts fitted to the exhaust manifold Y piece clamps.....?
And it does look like the nearest bush fitted is perished/split.
