Hi All,
I have one of those TFT arm mounts (BT7513) that I want to use for my daughters 19" screen.
The mount is adjustable in most planes except the vertical and we aren't sure exactly where she will have the screen as yet so I wanted to provide some flexibility there.
Her room was lined with a soft fibre-board (to provide a bit of insulation and be drawing pin friendly) so that's not very good for attaching things.
My BIL has some offcuts of Trespa and I fancied attaching a (say)
100mm wide by 500mm high strip of it to the bit of wall above her worktop, under her (fitted in the ceiling) bed and on top of the fibre board (I should be able to get a couple of Fischer plugs in there (top . middle).Then, (pre fitting) I fancied drilling / tapping (6 or 8mm d) a row of suitably spaced holes up the vertical of this 'backing plate' so that we could adjust the height of the BT7513 easily? The arm mount has 3 holes (and I would use them all) so only the top and middle would be doing any real 'work'.
So, would anyone know if 18mm of Trespa would tap ok and then how strong would that tapping be please?
Oh and she's into Rock so wouldn't want to paint it pink or anything and in fact would probably like the 'industrial' look ;-)
All the best ..
