Odd Tile Spacers?

I am looking for some "3 legged" T shaped tile spacers to do a brick wall pattern but cannot find them anywhere. Does anyone know of a supplier??

TIA

    Just use straight pegs rather than a T Piece.

    I didnt realise that people left thses things in the wall once finished.
    use them end on the normall cross ones to get the correct gap wait for them to dry and remove them and resuse them on another part of the wall or for a future project. you can do the same with a box of matches which should be even cheaper.

    Could you buy the normal 4 legged cross shaped ones and trim off one leg?:confused:

    Good ideas so far - Not seen them in B & Q yet, last time I had to faff around with tiles I used ikkle bits of spagetti as spacers!!!! (Not Cooked) Dead cheap.

  • As shelly says you can just trim off one of the legs with a sharp knife or side cutters etc-
