    I am in need of help with mounting my 32 inch TV in my Volvo 780. It has the bracket, but the 4 holes in the back of my TV are too wide. A lady needs help in finding out what to do, what extra stuff to buy and where. I tried fuel stops but no one could put it up for me. I thank you kind gentlemen in advance. Its a Sanyo TV.

    The best way to do it: go to any home improvement center buy a 48" long aluminum blade, cut two pieces so they will cover the mounting wholes of your TV, (placed horizontally) drill 4 wholes on each blade, (2 for the TV bracket and 2 for the TV). you will need to measure the distance of the wholes at the TV bracket and TV. then buy the screws to mount the blades on the TV bracket, and the TV.
    I know it may sound complicated but it's an easy project for anybody with some Do It Yourself skills. You will need a metal saw blade, a drill with metal drill bits, screw drivers, and pliers.
    Hope that helps.

    The problem you have is that the VESA holes on your TV and the mount are different size. Simply google "vesa tv mount adapter" and pick something that has the sizes you need and get it drop shipped from Amazon for 10-15 bucks. Problem solved.
