Clutch Hose 3.0i (not M)

I've just asked my local specialist to do a CDV removal and turns out that the clutch hose has been cross threaded in the past and needs to be replaced.

He's struggling to get a replacement, with no original BMW hoses available in the UK and nothing from Earls (Silverstone) off the shelf, as its threaded at the CDV end and has a speedfit connector at the slave cylinder end.

Apparently the M is slightly different.

He thinks he can repair the cross thread for a trip to Europe, that starts next week, but I'm keen to get a decent braided hose on when I get back.

Has anyone got any suggestions for a suitable supplier?

Hi, had your car already had the cdv removed if your Indy is saying the hose was cross-threaded?

Hi Rob, the CDV was still in place but the connection had been cross threaded at some point. Either he has damaged it trying to separate the connections or it's had a clutch change or I wondered if it has had the mod that removes the CDV restriction but retains the actual CDV housing, for warranty purposes.

Either way, I need a new hose at some point.
 
Thanks guys.

IF........I decided to go with the high risk approach of sticking with the Indy fix and then go for braided when I get back, any idea where I could source one of those?
