I buy all my screws nuts and bolts from sellers on ebay. Prices are pretty competitive if you buy in bigger quantites

[martin]

Pretty much the same at B&Q, it's a rip-off ! Martin.

i used to Deliver for B an Q Mart, totally agree with you, i get all mine cheaper at the decorating shop in the town, example, floor paint for the lock up, 30 quid for 2.5 ltrs at B an Q, 5 litres at the local decorators for 19.99!!!! small tin of black Hammerite 8 quid B an Q, same tin 4.99 local shop.
i know i'm half scottish( dad was) but it's getting ridiculous and i'm not tight really lol,

oh carpets and seat's done Mart pics to follow tomorrow i hope, will be looking at carpet for mats and found someone to sew the edging on etc, will let you know

i did try ebay, but i think i have a better mix with screwfix, but thanks to you both

"Wee canny Scots......................!" - that's "small/us, careful/smart/cautious Scottish nationals" to you English/foreigners .............!

There's nothing to be ashamed of in being on the look out for a less expensive way.......... I always am........

[AlanD]

thanks for the offer, it is appreciated, it is frustrating with the suppliers, i will get the assortment, i dont know the sizes lol, there is the carpet strip and rear chubby panels to start with and i have quite a few i want to replace as they have rusted or the heads are on the way out.

i do appreciate the offer though

'wee canny scots' ! you hav'nt seen my aunty dottie lol in Dalkeith, she is a lovely person though and has always spoilt us rotten, espically when we were kids

A bit of contradiction there--B&Q and Screwfix are the same company

[keeny]

Same company Different market targeting?
