Trailing arm brake clips

[Peter1450]

Evening chaps
As above ,have looked on real Oem but not sure which are the correct clips………..looking for the white clips that hold the hard brake line to the trailing arms . Thanks in advance .

Best to get some from the dealers. Ones which have been removed will have have been on a car for around 20 years now and be quite brittle.

I have some not oem double lumem types for brake pipes which fitted ok. I’ve some spare if you want to pm me your address on how many you need and can post you them, but not to expensive from the dealer.

Thanks for the quick reply’s, yes they just fell apart Tony, everything that could be stuck on a 20 yo car has been,takes so long to to do anything on corroded parts!
No problem using the dealer, got new outer sills with all the fixings fron Cotswold BMW, just wasn’t sure which were the correct clips on real Oem, the diagram wasn’t clear to me.
Thanks for your kind offer Althulas, will try and get standard fittings as I need some more brake fittings, £5 on eBay ,£1 from the dealer !

I’m getting too old for spending hours on my back under the wifes car preparing for it’s MOT. Taken me hours to replace only the offside rear brake line, the near side bleed nipple is rounded and stuck!
The spare wheel carrier put up an hour’s fight just to get the pivot bolt out, need to sort a rear calliper just in case before I tackle the side ,then onto the shiny new tank straps…….

Tank straps fitted this afternoon after work, can’t recommend highly enough……straightforward to fit and better quality than anything BMW could come up with!
