I am going to replace the master and slave clutch cylinders. While I have my head under the dash and gearbox is there anything else worth replacing?

Nothing else to replace, but you could check the adjustment of the brake pull rod. Adjust it so that the brake pedal is just short of hitting its upper stop.

When I did my clutch cylinders. I changed the probable tired hose that ran to the slave. Got a braided one instead of the original rubber one.

Pick a colour. You'll have double check its the right one but I would assume (don't quote me on it) they're the same throughout all E30's, maybe accept the M3.

This one has zinc fittings. It would be best to find stainless steel fittings. But from what I remember when I got one, stainless was only available on their brake lines.
