1988 350i top and bottom radiator hoses

What hoses are used for the top and bottom radiator hoses? There are four parts on my car which are thermostat to swan neck and swan neck to radiator at the top, and two parts with a metal tube between for the bottom.

Would this do the job?

I've bought and used the ACT twice and it's spot on. Also available in black! If you have a proper old school car spares place they can probably match suitable rubber hoses but if was my money I'd buy the ACT kit every time.

Gone out on a limb a bit and ordered some hoses from these guys:

The ones on my car are either straight, 90 deg or around 45 deg. so I have just gone for rubber radiator hoses from them. All in all four hoses and clips were £45. A bit of trimming will be needed but in princple they should do the job fine.

I will add a further comment and some photos after I try fitting them!!
