Thank you. Please let us know when these are ready. I'm looking forward to being able to tilt the television without having to buy a complete new bracket.

Update: I just finished this install a couple of days ago. I was wrong about the washers; they weren't needed. It took very little time to do.

Great idea! Thanks for sharing. I am very interested in getting such a bracket. What do I need to do to acquire? Please let me know.
Thanks, Marc & Patrice 2016 179 pod |

If you are taking orders for this bracket, count me in!

I decided to order the setup from Amazon that The Bum recommended. It will be here tomorrow. It should be simple to swap out the mounting plates and gain the adjustment needed.
Edit: I ordered, received, and will return. The plate and tilt bracket that holds the television can't simply be removed from the mount and used to replace the original plate and non-tilt bracket. Not only is the bolt considerably smaller, but the legs of the bracket are too closely spaced to fit onto the original bracket without sawing some of the length off. 'Taint happening! I will wait until the custom bracket is finished. |

I'll buy one if this happens for sure!!
Update: Never mind! I ended up doing a mod of my own and welded part of the old bracket to a tilting one. |

Where are you trying to separate the new mount? I used only the TV plate and the bracket it attaches to, removed at the bolt closest to the TV. I did not use any arms of the new mount. All I had to do was drill out the two holes in the tilt bracket to 1/2" and bolt it in using the original mount bolt. I'll try to swing by our storage unit and snap a photo this evening. |

I think the one you used is different from the one I ordered. The linked mount in your post looks different from the one I received. The one I received was much less sturdy, only using a narrow bracket with two screws/bolts to mount it to the wall. The one linked in your description had a wider plate, much like the original that looks like it would use 4 screws/bolts like the R-Pod's original mount. |

A viable option that I and others have used is this mount from Amazon. It takes less than 2 hours to swap out, it's shown in my mods thread on page 3. Only two screws to drill:

Retroactive,
That's the one I returned. I wanted to use the tilt mounting plate on the existing arm. It won't fit. The one that will fit costs more than the proposed price of the custom bracket. I'll wait for it and see what the final cost will be. Hopefully, the information will be available soon. |
