Hi all,
I have a TV mount which I want to mount on the wall, but I want it slightly further from the wall so it goes into the room a little bit more, so I want to put some wood on the wall and attach the mount to it.
The screws to hold the mount need to go 55mm deep, so the wood needs to be at least that thick.
There are two sets of holes on the mount. 13cm from each other and 2cm apart.
Here are some images of it on its side.
I was thinking two pieces of stud attached to the wall horizontally, one for the top row one for the bottom, with one screw on each end.
I was thinking of some wood like this.

Problem is how to attach them to my brick wall. The only screws I could see which may work (due to length needed) though are these. http://www.wickes.co.uk/frame-screw-75x92mm-ctsk-head-who-75092/invt/215084/
I have never used frame fittings before so am unsure exactly how good they are.
The mount thing is designed to go on either a solid wall or a stud, so as long as the stud is attached to the brick ok it will hold.
Does this sound like it would work or should I do it another way?
Cheers
Ian
