I'm having a go at building one out of an knackered concert uke with a golden syrup tin and a stainless steel plug-hole strainer.
Any tips?

Coming from you sir, I take this as a compliment.Only someone British would do this... good on ya pal.
You can use dowels between the top and back, to keep the top from sagging. If it's a laminate top you could probably get by with just one... like a sound post on a violin but centered.
Didn't some brave fellow on UU build a uke from the crank casing of a "Briggs and Stratton" lawnmower engine a few years back
Keef who built it and here is the thread.

May get more ideas at cigarboxnation.com if you haven't tried it yet. They build instruments out of all sorts of things besides cigar boxes.
spookey, you are a gloriously fruity individual.
