It'll be fine, for the 50mm overhang you have either side and the relatively light weight, 2mm ali will do the job no bother.

I've recently got a new TV and I was hoping to use the old bracket, but I've lost the plates to extend the 200mm x 200mm plate to 300mm x 200mm. I've got a length of this:

25mm x 2mm thick aluminium bar.

If I secured the bar to the bracket plate with 2 bolts, and fixed to the TV with 1 bolt at each of the 4 points, would that do the job? The new TV's about



15kg, and the bracket is rated to 40kg.

I would go for mild steel or stainless steel rather than aluminium.

Yes, I would too - just that I have the ali to hand

Thanks, all done, holding. So far :-)
