I am going to leave this really vague, because I truly don't think that the guy is in any way trying to screw me over, but at the same time, I still want my parts.

A month or so ago I posted about splitting a parts car. I needed certain parts, and ultimately I never bought the car. I was pointed to a member here who had the parts that I needed, so I contacted him. He sent pictures and we had agreed on a price for a few parts. I asked about some brackets and mounts, and he stated that he had them and would include them. He lives about 2 hours from me, so we agreed to meet up as soon as was convenient for us both.
Throughout the process, we communicated by phone and text. We had to cancel meeting up once or twice, but we worked it out. After a couple weeks of working the logistics, we met up about 2 weeks ago (2 weeks ago today, actually) at his work for me to buy the parts. When I got there, he had forgotten the mounts and brackets for the larger items that I bought. I had driven about an hour out of my way on the way home from a trip for work, and he lived 30 minutes away from his work (plus he was not sure that he knew where they were at his house), so I went home and he promised to get them to me.
It has now been 2 weeks. He is not answering his phone (I have left messages) and he only responds to texts with short messages where he does not commit to any time frame to get me the (required) brackets or mounts.
Because we met in person, he wanted cash and not a paypal payment. I don't know how to proceed. I don't think that he intentionally screwed me, but I need the brackets or the parts that I already have are useless. Buying the brackets from someone else will run me between $60-100.
Any advice as to how to handle this? I took off all next week to work on stuff with my cars, house work, and to run errands. I could buy the parts and have them to me in time to use them next week, but I have no assurances that the guy will give me any refund- he won't even answer my calls.
What do you guys recommend?
Cliffs: Bought parts in cash but seller forgot the (necessary) brackets. Little communications since, and seller is 2 hours from me.
