The area where I want to mount this has non-standard wall studs. The studs are 40 inches apart. How far apart can I space the wall brackets?

You should be able to but only with 2 of the brackets not all three. As long as you are under 200lbs with your tv it shouldn't be a problem.

The wall brackets will slide all the way to either end, with one more in between the two outer wall brackets, but I would say it is not very likely this will work for you. The entire mount is 45 inches outside edge to outside edge. Sliding the two outer brackets all the way to each end and with the mounting holes in the center of each of the wall brackets, you are probably inside 2 1/2 inches or more from each outer edge, which then puts you inside your 40 inch stud to stud span. It does come with masonry mounting hardware, so depending on what the wall is you are trying to mount this to is made of, and the weight of your TV, these may work for you. Hope this is helpful.

The brackets slide to any width within the main mount (~43"). However, if your studs are 40" apart, you will only be able to use two of the three sliding brackets to mount to the wall. With a large TV, I don't think I'd feel comfortable with only two of the three brackets anchored to the wall. I don't think this is the mount you want for a non-standard application. If the wall is opened, perhaps an additional stud could be added.

If the 40 inch measurement is center-to-center, you would be able to secure only 2 of the 3 brackets to studs. The middle bracket would have to be secured with toggle bolts (if your wall is sheetrock). The length of the "rails" is 42 inches, and the brackets are 2 inches wide with the mounting holes centered. Would it be strong enough? Depends on the weight of your TV. I would try to contact the company for informed advice.

I am unable to get to it to measure it since my 70 inch TV extends too far on all sides but the outside brackets slide all the way to the edges so it should work fine.

They slide up an down the length of the rail, mine was above a fireplace mounting 110lb with awkward studs. I believe I only got purchase on two studs, so I did steel braces both above the mount and below the mount just in case they buckled

The uneveness of your wall surface should be a problem. I don't think any bracket could solve this problem.

Oh ok. The distance could actually be customized by you. They're just flat bars mounted to the inside of the unit. You could drill the same size hole they have and move them. The size or distance your existing mount sticks out from the wall might be the only thing that might effect mounting.

There are one and three-fourths inches from the center of one mounting screw to the center of the other mounting screw. Hope your studs are real close together!

Shouldn't be a problem, there are slots on the back of the mounting bracket about 2 inches long. They are approximately 16 inches apart to centers horizontally and 8 inches vertically. Works well in my bedroom on a 47" TV and has a long reach to swing the TV out.

The unit fits between studs in a wall that are on 16" centers. The unit can be mounted as high or low between these studs as you want as long as now wiring or other objects have been place between the studs you mount it in.

It depends on the width of the handlebars. I actually mounted a piece of wood on the wall to span the distance of a few studs, as to not have the positioning of the studs dictate the spacing of the brackets. The you can mount the brackets whichever distance you want from each other, and not sacrifice support.

i'm not sure what you mean by 40x40cm holes. there are holes along the plates top and bottom to accommodate pretty much any distance you need. if you're going into studs you have them 33 apart (every 16 inches) or plaster which could be any distance. you'll just need anchors but it's always best into studs which are much deeper in the wall than sheetrock. hope that helps.

The measurement from hole to hole on each mounting bracket is now 48 inches across so that it can be mounted to wall studs with standard 16 inch spacing. Total length across of unit is now 50 inches (edge of frame to edge of frame).

Russiko, The brackets move to accommodate variable stud distance, but the mounting bars are a fixed length. They will show. Happy to help. John Racette - New Mexico Satellite Man - www.newmexicosatelliteman.com

There is a lot of tolerance for varied stud spacing. I doubt that there will be any problem inserting the screws through the mount into the studs if you mark out the stud edge locations first. I too am very pleased with this wall mount.

mine did fit between the studs no problem..i used a stud finder and then mounted

I used the bracket to hang a 40 pound headboard. There is not a noticeable space between the headboard and wall (probably because it is cushioned). You can probably count on at least a half inch projection if the back of your hanging is flat. I would use this kind of clip again for mounting anything heavy to the wall.

If the studs are too far apart, you could always lay down a base board that matches up to the studs, then mount the bar on top of that. I did this with my bar and it works like a charm. As for your question, The bar is not adjustable width-wise so your studs may not match up.

The bracket holes are wider than 1 1/2 inches apart so you would have to use then in line with the stud, or (because of the direction I needed to run the bikes) use a piece of 1 x 2 mounted to the ceiling first crossways, then screw the brackets to that.

My installation requires about 24" spacing between the brackets. I think you could easily place the brackets closer than my installation required. The mounting holes in the brackets are slotted which would give you a little ,maybe 1/4", on each bracket bar. Hope this helps.

The distance from the wall to the center of the rod mount is about 11 -3/4" . There a nice heavy bracket though.
