I’m restoring my 1275 GT and I’ve been lucky enough to acquire an original 3 spoke steering wheel and it’s in good condition other than the silver inlays on the 3 spokes does anyone know if you can get replacements?

I think you’d be exceptionally lucky - I don’t think they were ever available as an individual item back in the day and as they’re glued on very unlikely to come off in a condition fit to be reused.
I think I’d be trying some careful masking and aluminium effect paint.

Isn’t a proper GT wheel you’ve found or a clubman one? Does it have the leather rim?

If you can’t find any help on here the mini1275gt owners group on face ache would probably be able to point you in the right direction I’m not on it.
Or you could message this seller on eBay and ask if he can do it. Item no 115915425033.

Thank you yes a proper 1275 GT with leather and 1275 GT badge. I might just leave it as it shows originality.
