Hi,

I was in a friends JWC Mini recently and couldn't help but fall in love with the steering wheel. Is there a boss kit to fit the BINI steering wheel to a classic mini?

I'm going to get one with no buttons or paddle shifts obviously.

And I'm looking for advice on if there is a boss kit or how to fit. Not people's opinion on the steering wheel or how its un traditional.

ITS MY CAR AND MY MONEY>

Sorry for the little rant

To my knowledge there are no boss kits for something like that, I'm assuming you would have to get a hold of a bini column and modify it extensively, if you're driving an older mini it would be more cost effective to fit an MPI wheel & column, however I'm sure someone on here could shed more light on what work would be involved in doing something like that.

Okay fair enough, I'm i only wanted the leather steering wheel . Not much point in spending that amount of money on it, maybe just get an MPI wheel then? Its a 94' car.

An mpi wheel still won't fit as that has a different spline too. You'll need a mpi column to fit it. BMW mini is the same as a peugeot 207 column and from memory same as the newer style ford focus

Christ its alot of hassle just for a nice steering wheel isn't it :/

Only if you make it. There are plenty of wheels available for the spi and earlier cars. Try and find different ones for a later mpi column
Standard steering wheels are made to fit one type of car, so bmw, vauxhall and such like
