Default Brake pipe p clips and connectors

I need to order the bits and peices for the rigid brake lines for rear drums.
All I need at the minute is the bits to run the rear brake lines. So any help gratefully recieved.
What P clips are people using, size and spacing and where from?

Has anyone drawn up a list of all the connectors and parts?
I sketched up this diagram but wanted to add a parts list so if anyone has the sizes of the connectors and t pieces please let me know, If its useful I'll draw it up a bit better with a parts list.




1. FR master cylinder connector - size - part number - supplier/price
2. FL master cyclinder connector
3. Rear master cyclinder connector
4/5 Brake Pressure Switch and T Piece and connectors
6.

are the male unions longer than the standards ones on ebay?

e.g

these
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Male-brake-fit...item4aa96b1dbc

or these

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Male-brake-fit...item4aa96d715a





the short ones seem to be standard

I used the one from the lower link, I have an assortment of sizes so picked the ones I felt were the correct length.
