I had no luck finding the 1/2inch Wyes in Australia. I end up getting them from the states.
From http://flexpvc.com/cart/agora.cgi?product=PVC-Wyes-45degree they only cost $1.20 each. (Though they hit me about $45 in freight.) So order plenty.
The PVC arms from Bunnings for about $8.
The aluminium I got from Bunnings for about $15.
The Rubber grommets from Bunnings for $10.
The Aluminium Rivets from Bunnings for $5
The Screws and Nuts From Ebay. For $10.

So all up it cost me about $55. If you don't include the freight content.
