Rear brake flexible hose

I am struggling to find a part number to get a rear flexible brake hose for my 1983 Spanish built 4tl.
The local factors here only list rear hoses that are female at both ends , I require a hose male at one end and female at the other because my car has a load valve on one side of the vehicle.
 
Both rear brake hoses should have female ends. There is a short metal pipe from the pressure limiting valve to the LH hose, maybe someone in the past omitted this and bolted a longer hose directly on the valve. Can you post some pictures to clarify it?
 
Had this before on a Spanish R4
Discovered a rear flexible hose for R8 1963 to 1971 fits perfectly
Iwas lucky and just happened to have one in a box but they are listed still on ebay I'm sure or the continental suppliers will send you one but most want high minimum postage

EDIT just noticed you are actually in Spain
All UK spec R8 had disc rear brakes funny feeling Spanish built R8 had drum rear brakes so may have different hoses listed to french built R8 cars
 
Still struggling to find this hose, our local factors are trying to match it but any help would be appreciated.
 
I found Renault R8 rear brake hoses here, total length is 29cm and they have the correct male / female ends. Price is 18 euros each plus postage, let me know by PM if you are interested.
