I'm trying to head out to B to buy my plumbing bits, but I can't find any specific list of components needed to build a SLO for an IBC. Either 90mm or 100mm or whatever works well.

Been searching the forum for about 15 minutes

Please help

They may have something like this or may have to try a plumbing shop.

Are you going to go through the wall of the IBC, or going to utilise the valve already in the base?

If utilising the valve for an "external SLO" : http://www.backyardaquaponics.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=207723#p207723 and the parts not commonly available at "B".

cheers,

they didn't have anything I could use to make the bulkhead fitting so I'll have to go to a different shop for it. Bought everything for a test affnan siphon so I'll cut an IBC growbed tomorrow and try making one.

If you haven't already purchased your bits (and given you are in Sidders), you should give Dural Irrigation a go...
Between Wet Earth and Dural Irri, I've found them to be far cheaper than the B store...

the main thing I'm missing is the bulkhead fitting. I went in again but they just don't have anything like it. I will try an alternative which is using a silicone gasket type sleeve and just forcing it through a 90mm hole.
