TV arm bracket for Samsung 32" LED TV help

mutley74

I have a new 32" Samsung TV LED type. On the back the screw holes are countersunk and user a wider screw/bolt (M8 in booklet).

My existing kit screws do not fit. I did buy a kit on ebay which stated it was compatible with LED TV
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120838715160&ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:GB:1123

But the longer screws and spacers shown on the picture were not provided in the fixing kit.

( I have the spacers provided with the TV box).

Where can i get suitable M8 fixing screws to use with the TV? Tried searching but just keeps bringing up all types of bolts which are spanner type not suitable with a screwdriver.

Go to B&Q or any hardware store. They'll be able to sort you out - there's nothing special about them.

I found B&Q have a very limited range of M8 machine screws (well they did in the two large stores I looked in). The closest match they had was a 75mm bolt that would of had to be cut down to size!

Any local hardware store that can still sell loose screws etc is a goldmine for these things (very hard to find though except through local knowledge). Not sure is Maplin would have any of the common sizes for these things or not.

thanks for replies.
to be honest i did not really want to go down the route of cutting my own screws down, i rather see if i could buy them at right size and length. Hence, why i started this thread to see if anyone else has had any problems with fixing a slimline LED TV to a bracket.
