Which heavy duty dixing for a block wall?

Only thing is they are a one time fix, if you take the item down another toggle is needed.

For some reason I thought they were called 'butterfly' bolts or something. I've got some of those (for plasterboard), they look identical to those on ebay - they're not very long, and they don't appear to be that strong. They're certainly nowhere near as strong as either Rigifix or resin bolts.

Ok, new bolt fitted. So about this extra brace / support. What do you think of something like this:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/130758656419? ... 1423.l2649
Mild Steel Flat Metal Bar Welding Strip 12mm x 3mm x 1000mm (or I could go for 25mm x 3mm cross section)
I could cut it to about 350mm, bolt it to the end of by wall bracket, and then fix it to the wall with something like this:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/METAL-90-ANGL ... 3f204e2163

Would that steel be easy to cut and be strong enough? I suppose the force will be compression, rather than tension, which isn't ideal for a thin bar, I don't know how rigid it is. If the metal bar was L shaped it would have more strength under compression, but I don't know if I can get those?

EDIT - Punch bag brackets seem to do the same thing. This one uses a simple metal bar for support (not sure if it's stronger than the mild steel I've linked to):

But most punch bags seem to have a bigger support, like this one:

I could get that and just use the support bar.

I think so, just got to find one that's the right length. I've measured by brackets and they stick out 34cm from the wall. Some of the good punch bag brackets are 2 feet, and the support arm looks like it goes further than 34cm. There's one that's for an 18" bracket, but that bracket says it supports up to 50kg, whereas all the others say 80kg or 100kg.

Anyway, I think it looks like a good idea, so I just need to find the right one.

Even if you had to cut the arm and weld the plate back on it wouldn't be too much of a hardship. Thanks for hitting the thanks button!

I don't have any welding equipment or skills, so I really need to get the right size. I'd message the ebay sellers, but the one that looks most appropriate can't be contacted.

That's the 3rd time I've never seen it before (haven't used the site much recently).
