Maybe have a look around in aquatic places, that's where I get my screen piping and bronze fittings from, usually cheap as well.

I use a helper pump from a Vauxhall Omega, you can get them Ebay. Word of warning though, even if it says fully working etc etc..Take the top off and give it a good clean, it will be full of crap.
