ebay ... search for spiggot rings. They are usually plastic....metal ones are rare. You need to know what the wheels hub size is and then get a ring that reduces from that to the MINI 56.1mm hub

Push comes to shove you could speak to GTT and ask who the supplier is of the thier Ultraleggera's is and then call them and ask for a fitting kit for the MINI. Roland may even have some fitting kits about that he could sell...not sure but its a possibility. Also you can have these things made by an engineering firm out of metal...its not cheap but metal spiggots are usually far better than plastic anyway (TSW used to supply metal ones years ago I think)
