The mounting bracket did not come with wall mounting instructions or with the screws/bolts i'll need to mount the whole unit to the wall, it just came with assembeling instructions and stuff just to attach the tv to the bracket but i need to know how to mount the bracket to the wall properly. What would I need to bolt the bracket to the wall? A parts list would be good too, this is the bracket I bought...http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/5346082/Trail/C%24cip%3D1500011405.Sound%2Band%2Bvision%3EC%24cip%3D1500011414.Electrical%2Baccessories%3EC%24cip%3D1500011415.Television%2Bwall%2Bbrackets%2Band%2Bstands%3EFC%24Brands%3DRoss.Ross.htm

  1. Go to your local hardware store and ask somebody.  Try to go to a small town hardware if you can, not a big box store.  People in the smaller stores know what they're talking about better than the ones who work in big stores.  You need a special kind of s***w.  I've always called them "tap-cons."  They're usually blue.  You have to drill a hole in the masonry and then you can install the s***w right into the hole.  You just have to be sure you use screws that are the right size for the job and you have to be especially sure that you drill a hole that is the correct size.  If you drill a hole thats too small, the masonry will crumble when you install the s***w.  If you drill a hole thats too big, the s***w won't hold properly.  When you buy the screws, the packaging they come in should say what size drill bit you need.  Also, be aware that drilling into masonry requires a special drill bit made for this application as well.


  2. Rawlbolts selected to match the size of the holes on the mounting bracket.  Go to any harware store or ironmongers and select.
