calling canadian R50-R53's

I just installed my paddle shifted steering wheel from a canadian spec mini cooper and when i was installing i discovered that the car side of the harness didn't have the appropriate wiring coming off the plug for the paddle shifters.
can anyone either, point me to a place to buy the proper harness or send me a wiring diagram so i can add the proper wires to the harness.
this is a really cool mod to do if you like leather on your steering wheel

The steering wheel paddle shifters need a 16 track rotary coupler & a new instrument panel harness, good luck!

if by rotary coupler you mean the clock spring behind the steering wheel, it came with the steering wheel. as far as the harness goes it looks like i'm only 3 wires shy of the right harness (requiring me to add a few wires to the existing plugs)
