I think there is a guy on the Jamma forms who makes a living moving cabs around the uk. I'm sure he would be glad of the extra trade. I'll see if I can find out who it is.

Yeah Martin the Delivery Man is a really nice guy.

Also if you're building a cab and need the basics like brackets, nut, bolts screws etc. then just forget B&Q. I use Screwfix Direct now for these basics and they are way WAAAAAAY cheaper than B&Q.

B&Q basically take the piss.

If you're lucky you can find an independent hardware store that may sell the basics loose (there's an excellent one near me in Leeds) and they sell all the nuts, bolts, washers etc. individually for pennies. I appreciate you can't always get that service locally though.

EightBySix:

Chesterfield has a fantastic little hardware shop. Reminds me of 'arkwrights' from open all hours. They put loads of stuff outside in the day and bring it all back in when the shop closes.

I wanted some dowel bolts for my table slide mechanism. B&Q: £8 for a bag of 5. He charged me 50p each.

sadly the B&Q sheds of the world are eating them up.
