JVC XX to replace the old ones - one of the drivers were damaged when I used a USB audio adapter

DC Hi-Top Camo Black trainers to replace my black & red ones which had a hole in the heel!

Not fitted the cameras outside yet, too cold and wet and windy :eek:

168k yen, about £900, once shipping, taxes and fees are added on, closer to £1400. But compared to an 'equivalent' Gibson an absolute bargain.

You are not wrong there, this year's Standard is double that !!

I thought that was a Gibson actually, until I saw the headstock.

Rather a pleasant smell.

If it's a stud wall then just get a pair of brush plates and drop the cables down inside the wall.

I got given a couple of bottles of that at christmas, quite surprised how nice it smells.

Was so simple to install, measure where the 4 holes need to go, use the supplied 18mm wood bit to drill into the plasterboard, fit and secure the spring clips and bolt on the plates. Fit the mounts to the back of the TV and then hang it.

And the finished result!

Next step is to get some conduit to hide the cables

You mounted the wallmount and that TV straight to the plasterboard using just four of them bolts.. :eek:

Glad it your TV and not mine.

They don't weigh much these days and could, I suppose, only be a monitor.

Those spring toggles are okay... Although I'd personally prefer to install it at least on one stud.

chaparral · 11 Jan 2015 at 17:35

I still would not feel it safe without it being screwed into the stud work.

Guys, those toggles are rated for a very large mass, something like 20Kg per plug on 12mm plasterboard. They will be absolutely fine, they spread the force across a plenty large enough area.

If you're happy to tile on plasterboard, you should be happy to use these. People are obsessed with mounting on studs, but I'd trust these more than an average wood screw in your average timber. They're that solid.

Panels are so light now you can get away with just about anything when mounting.

Exactly.

It's fine. Just don't hang a plasma off it

Alas the cavity is packed with insulation so would be more bother than it's worth

Yes, yes I did.

42" LED TV, 14kg panel and the mount is rated up to 55kg.

It's absolutely rock solid and the mount is designed to be fitted without going onto a stud.

I've got my old 40" LCD which is about 5 inches thick and a good 10/15KG+ hanging on a plasterboard wall with the same style toggles. Admittedly 6 of them. Still there 3 years later...

lol - this adds nothing to the original point of hanging a TV on a plasterboard wall.

It would still be fine though. I'd be very happy using four of those toggles to hang a 32Kg plasma. I've hung off a TV wall mount attached with four of them and I weight 90Kg.
