A 3x2 CLS is 70x50mm, other may call their 63x38 a 3x2 but it's not a 3x2, if you see what I mean.

Found DrylinePro fixings to be excellent for Dot & DAB walls,
Just as well I'm not a joiner, I'm obviously still not on par with metric ... What's the point of calling it 3x2 then, @ 63x38 it's no where near 3x2

It's the nominal size of the timber before it's planed and finished .
See ,it's not only plumbing that has daft sizing issues ...

Thanks for the various suggestions to my fitting a radiator problem. I have decided to go along with thomps method, not because I think it's the best but more because some of the other suggestions are outwith my experience eg the Corefix fittings.
ps: The fitting has been delayed due to my having put my back out 3 days ago! : (
Given that I live a long, long way from the nearest building materials supplier, is there any reason why I shouldn't hang the radiator using wood I already have and shown below? For all i know it may well be cls, I only know that it's treated. If it is suitable, I could easily cut the depth to 33mm leaving 3mm for filler. The wall is completely internal.

Absolutely no reason not to.
With the top wooden block in place and plastered over, I am very keen to give the drylinepro fixing a trial on the block at the bottom of the radiator. I need size ? x 7.5mm plugs, the bit and if my general purpose screws are not suitable then I need size ? x 7.5mm screws to suit. Out in the sticks, the last thing I want to do is order the wrong items and would be grateful if someone could provide me with a link to a drylinepro stockist.
