Speedy, thinking out of the box...
Many years ago I had a high speed vibration on the steering wheel on my X1/9 (also mid engine) and finally got get rid of it when replaced the front shock absorbers (struts),
perhaps you may want to check the condition of yours?

Strange as I had this issue, balanced wheels, new front discs etc, in the end it was cured with new rear discs, have no idea why but it solved my issue.

This is what I'm hoping for, as that is the only thing attached to the suspension I have yet to change. Did you feel any pulsing or vibration when braking? Or did you just have the vibration?

Minor vibration under braking, the most annoying issue was the vibration at 75 mph, above around 85 it disappeared.

Did your steering feel less direct / wobbly at all?

I was hoping that this was the issue, but I already replaced the struts with new Bilstein B4s and that did not fix the issue.. I definitely learned a lot about working on cars though while replacing them, so I guess it was not all a lost cause... haha
