I've been onto Real Oem looking for the part number of the flexi hoses that go from the beam side of the trailing arm to the underneath of the car.

Anybody have a link or part number for them? Or are they the same as the flexi hoses on the calipers?

they are not the same as the ones that screw in to the caliper.
the ones ones that screw in to the caliper have a female end to screw in to the hose and a male end for the hose to screw in to the caliper.
the ones that you are looking for have two female ends as its connecting to two solid lines.
hope this helps a bit. sory i dont know any part numbers man. im sure ebay will have a set of what your after. :)

#1 on here: http://bmwfans.info/parts/catalog/E30/T ... pipe_rear/ Get yourself 2 x #6 for each hose as well.

Are they the metal plates that go between the brake pipe and flexi hose?

Number 6 is the spring clip that locates and helps to secure the flexi to the hard line.

I paid 25p each for them at my local GSF,the flexi lines are about £8 each at the same source,although most half decent motor factors will be able to supply.
