Hi everyone,
I am planning on mounting my punching bag on a brick wall. I've got everything except for the wall plugs for the bolt screws. I've attached an image of the bolt screw. The following are its dimensions:
Length with head:
5.65 cm

Length without head:
5.15 cm

Diameter:
7.5 mm

Can you please help me find the appropriate wall plug? Thank you.

Word of warning - the unthreaded part looks like it has a larger diameter then the shank of the threaded section.
If you screw the bolt so that the unthreaded part (the bit just after the head) goes into the plastic plug, you might crack the brick depending on how tight the fit is and what type of brick it is, location, etc. I haven't had a similar accident with mortar, but assuming it would crack the surrounding mortar.
If the hanger part of your punching bag is thinner than this unthreaded shank, you might want to look at using a thick wood screw or using some sort of nut.

EDIT - erm ... just saw the post date; confused similar threads with "recent threads" from another forum
