I don't know where you are, but around here, people looking for parts swear by the junkyards. I think how well they are organized varies a lot. Some know what they have, others, you just go and look. But, they are cheap.

My local salvage yard was recently aquired by these people. They seem very well organized, but I have not yet done business with them. LKQ

I located a hard-to-find part for my old Ford truck through an online salvage yard. They shipped it to me w/no problem. I would search for online Mini salvage yards to see what you can find. I Googled it & found a few
