Yes, the BL Works Team and their rivals in the bright yellow and black Britax-Cooper-Downton Team were using 12 inch Minilites on their race Minis in 1969, which were also eight-port, fuel injected with limited slip diffs.

The July 2022 issue of MiniWorld magazine is now out and has Part 1 of the recent interview with the late 1960's Mini racer Martin Davidson (Harry Martin) including some nice period photos of that era from his albums. Part 2 will follow next month.

Apparently the vertical supports were telescopic with internal springs and the supports were graduated for the load on the wing to see what download was created.

On a mini I'm surprised that the weight of that gave any performance increase with the road holding ?

In that era F1 was also experimenting with high level wings for down force but after accidents involving the sudden loss of down force when the fragile wings or supports broke they were banned and evolved into what we see on todays race cars.
