You can make a really good job of a p clip with a strip of ali 10mm wide with some innertube rubber stuck to it. Just form it round a piece of rod slightly smaller than the pipe you need a clip for. leave the tails long untill your happy with them then drill the fixing hole. trim the tails last. Take your time with it in a vice and they turn out top notch.Its worth glueing up a load of it because there will be so many things that need clipping that are all different diameters.
