That method would be the wrong way to go about it. This woudl work better:

First, you attach a piece of plywood to the wall by screwing into the studs.
Then you use a heat gun to peel the vinyl away from one side of the EP500.
Next, liberally apply wood glue to the now exposed MDF on the EP500.
Finally, press the glued side up against the plywood and hold in place until the glue cures.

You may want to get something to prop it up there in case your arms get tired.

Hello again,

Sorry for delay in response but different time zones etc...

Mark - I have thought about placing a bracing piece of timber across the two studs and then attaching to that. It was my plan B if I could not find a bracket. I simply thought if a bracket existed it would be a lot easier and neater.

Anchors/toggles etc - good information (thanks for the link) but to be honest I have had bad experiences with all of these devises. I am not 100% sure if Drywall is the same as our plasterboard but what I have found is that the plaster simple shifts and moves under constant pressure and after time what ever is holding the weight starts to sag. Maybe I am doing it wrong but due to the visibility of the area I did not want there to be a problem with this in a couple of years.

I take it that no-one has seen or heard of a bracket??

Thanks again.

If I'm understanding you correctly, I haven't seen a bracket that will attach to the TV mount.

Here's a "plaque" I built for my QS8 speaker, because in my 120 year-old home, I have horsehair plaster and the studs are not regular. I didn't want the mounting screws to start vibrating out so I was looking to distribute the weight of the speaker over a larger mounting area. It's what I had in mind regarding you building something to bridge between the studs...though yours would need to be wider I'm sure. In this case, I put a hole through it and a "channel" in the back to place the wire.

Mark, are you sure you secured that 'T' bracket well enough to the plaque?

The plant threatened to shrivel up and die if I didn't....

Ain't you guys ever heard of duct tape?
