Are these a dealer item or where do you find/buy them? Other than getting silicone ones from samco or the like.

You can use OEM hose, just can't remember which ones you need.

Mine came with Samco, which I don't particularly like:

Where is best to get them though? I wouldn't mind silicone ones so long as their black.

I would imagine you can get the correct hoses from Samco once you have found out what model the hoses came off as I think you need a mix of e30 and e36 bits. Not entirely sure though.

If not, you can make your own using different shapes and couplers:

I seem to remember re-using the E34 hoses with my conversion,apart from the top hose which is now a black Samco affair to accomodate the fan switch...
