Sounds like you need to network with other Mini owners or even other LBC owners, as there is a lot of commonality between the more popular marques and the Mini.  "A" and even "B" series engines were used in quite a few models, and Lucas electrics are common to most all British marques.

Here are a few links to investigate and find contact info for "local" help:
