Resto hurdle, what has others done?

[Black_Op_88]

E30 1989 325is Resto

I have gotten to the length where I need the pipe that comes through the rear seat bulk head and into the tank area. It's the battery cable pipe.
Part No. 41121916254

And I also need new handbrake cable pipes. Under the car
Part No. 41121916245

Has anyone done any replacing of these? And what did you use? Both OEM parts were ended some years ago now.

And just on this topic. Admin maybe able to help, is there a thread that lists say non-e30 parts that make good alternatives when it comes to no longer getable pipes and other small pieces etc?

I dont think there is a thread but if you want to start one we could take it from there.
This is not a new issue and will only get worse so a great idea !!!
Let me know if you need any help on this, i`m sure others will chip in as this is a superb idea for a thread !!

Cheers Mart.

I have a similar issue with that pipe... it houses the Fuel tank vent lines... a replacement part can be found here.....

I managed to get a replacement from a website in Germany. Took about 3 days to get to the UK.

Here's the website guys
www.specialclassicparts.de

As you can see below you get the pipe and the repair section for the inner wing. I didn't need this so it allows you to choose the pipe only option to save a few coins.

Sorry I missed this reply,
This is a handy website for a few things and yea my mistake it is for the tank vent pipe

My next part I'm needing to source is the handbrake cable pipes that hold the cables below the car.

Anyone?
