Any suggestions as to how you managed with 66 Gary?
You could look into using these......

I've been looking into using them on my Marlin Sportster that also needs to have its steering limited.

I've not yet bought them myself but their helpful tech dept told me...
"The kit comes with two pairs of bushes to suit to two different racks fitted to Mini's, one pair are 22mm ID and the other pair 28mm ID they are both 37mm OD." and they are 12mm thick.

If you Google 'steering limiter' you'll also find a number of parts for Ford cars but I struggled to find any specs.

Good luck...
