ENGINE STEADY BILLET 1.3 UPPER – WP25011
The Billet Alloy engine steady bar is a direct‑fit replacement for the factory‑fitted steel stabiliser bar used on later Classic Mini models. Its purpose is to limit fore–aft movement of the power unit during acceleration, braking, and gear changes, improving drivetrain stability and reducing stress on engine mounts, exhaust joints, and gear‑linkage components.
Fitment and dimensions
- Designed for 1990‑on Classic Mini models equipped with the 1275cc engine.
- Also suitable for all automatic Minis, which use the same mounting geometry.
- Centre‑to‑centre length: 170 mm, matching the later “long” type steady bar specification.
Construction and compatibility
- Manufactured as a direct replacement for the original steel bar, retaining the factory mounting points and hardware.
- Engineered to accept standard Mini steady‑bar bushes (not supplied), giving the user a choice between:
- Rubber bushes for OE‑style compliance and comfort.
- Polyurethane bushes for improved control and reduced engine movement.
Finish options
- Finished in anodised silver, providing corrosion resistance and a durable, high‑quality appearance suitable for both road and competition use.
Functional benefits
- Reduces unwanted engine movement under load.
- Helps maintain consistent gear‑change feel.
- Minimises strain on exhaust manifolds, downpipes, and stabiliser brackets.
- Offers improved longevity over ageing factory steel bars, especially when paired with upgraded bushes.
