    Toolstation ( www [dot] toolstation [dot] com sorry I can't link as I'm new in these parts) will have everything you need and next day delivery is free if you spend more than a tenner.

    Thanks, but they don't have the dual tap connector (unless i'm not looking hard enough), and that is less than half the price than anywhere else i've seen, thus even with the delivery charge it is still cheaper.
    Shame there are no free deliver codes around though.

    Outdoors & next to the sea I’d use stainless screws

    also, it might be that 25mm long is a bit marginal by the time it’s gone through the clip

    Thanks for spotting that, i can't see 25mm being long enough either now.

    I think the best bet for me is when i'm passing B&Q next is to look at the clips instore and match them to the correct screws and plugs, make a note of their sizes then come home and order them.
    I have to order the tap splitter anyhow, so best to be safe than sorry.

    I did pick up a couple of jubilee clips from the local hardware store this morning for 50p, so that's saved a couple of quid.
