Glass fireplace into existing chimney breast

XEO25

Hi, does anyone know if its possible to fit one of those 3 sided glass fireplaces (pic below for example + typical dimentions) into an existing brick chimney breast?

I can't see a way round it myself without having to either knock the breast out completely and build a timber replacement, or, build it onto the front of the existing breast with a timber frame - neither of which are ideal options.

I was hoping there might be some sort of bracket to allow you to chop a section out of the chimney, but seems unlikely. Appreciate any advice thanks.

If there was a bracket that would support the chimney breast you wouldn't need either gallows brackets or supported steels when removing it.
