BTW does anyone have experience with aftermarket steering wheels? I could use some help finding information on where to get a steering wheel hub for my R53.

There are a few different options...most of them coming from overseas. MiniMania used to have one, but I just checked their site and they must have disontinued it...I know gnatster has one and Randy from m7 does as well

PM them and see what you can find...Nate can always find a part

^just saw your post PGT...

Thanks Nate for checking. R98 bolts can't be purchased from Mini. If you need new bolts, only way to get'em is buy a new wheel, at least from Mini.
