Took an old small corner basin out of the downstairs loo and bought a new one.
New mixer tap, new flexi hoses, new waste system etc.
Held new basin up to position, marked off slotted holes, remove basin from area and drill correct sized holes, (14mm rawplug to take 10mm threaded studs). But when drilling the holes I discovered the adjacent walls were stud walls. The mounting holes for the sink are 140mm along each side from the corner. The length of the straight sides are 400mm meaning the fixing points are closer to the back than the front. My only alternative seems to be put the old sink back on because it's lighter and the fixing brackets are closer to the front edge and therefore give it more support if anyone leans on it.
Do any of you guys know of a solution so I can fit the new sink. It's rented property so ripping down walls and fitting noggins is out of the question. Are there any different fixings I could use that would grip inside the cavity and keep the basin secure? I considered toggle bolts but can't find any 10mm ones.
