Wall Ties?

[junglejim01]

I'm in the process of renovating a 1940s lean-to extension. The lengthways brick wall butts up to an older gable sandstone wall but doesn't appear to be tied in. (see photo).

I guess it's stood the test of time but should i be thinking of tying in? if so is there anything suitable for 90degrees? Everything i've seen looks like it requires drilling from the outside. I was hoping i could fit some kind of corner bracket.

Thanks for the help

yes there is a method i have seen done on renovation jobs were you cut a chase in both skins , insert some right angle re bar then fill chase with resin, can be done in a couple of hours
