hi all,
v novice DIY question.

using the supplied fixings (2x brackets/ claw like fixings), of a B&Q cheapish Treviso Corner Cloakroom Basin ,fixed the basin to the plasterboard/wall , that was easy.... but in order to also use the supplied 2x Fischer fixings which will obviusoly give the basin much more support and hold it 100% level, i cant work out how to slide the basin onto the fischer fixings as well as hooking onto the 2x brackets/fixed claw like fixings..

it seems like a puzzle in carefully sliding and manipulating/twisting the basin onto 4 seperate fixings (2x lower fischer screws, 2 higher claw like fixings).

also, the basin underside doesnt lend itself to screwing in the fischer fixings once the basin is in place (the screws are too long to get the right angle into the wall) and even replacing with a conventional screw of somekind, nowhere or angle to get a screw driver in place.

any idea's? (other than get someone in that knows what they are doing :) )

thx for looking and hopefully helping

normally we would just use the fischer fixings-if adequately sized - have you tried putting brackets on afterwards if in doubt
you can also use a bit of silicone to stick basin to wall
