Wall mount spacer quick question

[AndyT77]

Hi, i have a few years old Panasonic Plasma, and have mounted it already, but on the one side where the power socket goes into the TV, the bracket is slightly not flush, due to the power socket protruding. I used the longest spacers available with the wall mount kit, but is it possible to buy (and of course use), longer spacers/bolts?

Like i say it is all mounted, but on the one side, the TV sticks out more than other (slightly), and is annoying me!

Use a but or washers as an additional spacer, and buy a bolt that is the relevant length longer.

Or fit a fused spur rather than having a plug behind the TV

Tell me what sizes of spacer and bolt you need and I'll send you some, if I have them. I have 100s of bits left over from brackets I've fitted. Or why not use a right angled IEC cable? Or if the wall socket is sticking out, swap it for a switched spur.

Thanks guys, the thing causing the protrusion is the actual power cable socket for the TV, not the mains plug. The cable runs down a conduit to the power socket close to the floor.

The TV power cable plug is a right angle plug as far as i can see, it's just unfortunatley a bit large, and is slap bang in the middle of where the wall mount brackets fit to the back of the TV.

I'll have a measure up and see what size i need, thanks again.
