Do they need to be that thick? B&Q have a lot of thinner but still structural brackets in the building and framing sections.

need thick ones for holding the engine frame on. and thick ones to hold radiator on. other ones not so thick will be fine.
also some half brackets would be good too. a little like below.

Buy a length of steel L section... get a decent jigsaw and blade and chop it into pieces... drill the holes and use a grinder to round the corners...
10 mins per bracket! Cost.... about £0.20p!

For my nose cone and scuttle I just set riv-nuts into the top chassis rail.
Cheers,

steer clear of the b&q stuff, it might be cheap but its complete crap. the aluminium is especially appalling.
