Go to the DMGRS shop, he has all the bits you need for that.

Here's as bit of trivia ,couple of years ago I had a broken f/o/s spring only noticed late at night.The following morning I informed the AA warranty then local MG specialist Horner's Swinton Manchester to expect me with a warranty claim .The AA patrol man then turned up which they have to do to establish it was actually a breakdown.
The thing that amazed me was that he said he would replace it in my back yard ,I questioned this and he reaffirmed that he does it all the time for warranty claims.On the road ,drives and even my back yard (albeit tiled)
I no its not impossible but still amazed.
However i declined his offer,knowing my rights under terms of warranty. So he had a look/assessment and tailed me on a 3 mile journey with all his lights flashing at 10MPH.To Horners , who already had a sent photo of my under seat suspension spefication sticker.

I'm told I'll need to replace the flexible section of brake pipe and get a couple of horseshoe clips. Have I got the right parts here?

(or is this brake pipe specific to the 190? Mine's a CDT.)

I think you will find they are the wrong clips and hoses unless you have the 325mm 190 brakes

these I think are the clips they are on about they are the retaining clips for the flexi hoses that usually are very corroded

and I believe these are the front hoses but check your chassis number http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FRONT-BRAK...0AAOxyOeBRzEoH

or rimmer bros slightly more expensive but not much
