Presumably that was because you had fallen off the ladder

Stupid question.... why don't you desolder/cut off the scart, send through smaller dia hole & resolder?plasma boy said:Hi there
I am going to wall-mount a plasma screen telly above a fire place. The wall is a party wall in a terraced property, so will easily hold the weight (about 30kg). I am fine with fixing the coach bolts (probably about a 12mm bit required for the bracket fixings), but I am planning on sending the wires back into the wall and down the chimney (which is not used, obviously!) to avoid having to chase them into the wall. This will mean a roughly 50mm hole (to get the SCART plug through) in a brick wall about 200mm deep.
The question is: what type of drill bit do I need? Obviously a power drill is required, but I haven't made a hole this big before. Can you hire the bit? I will obviously only be using it once.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Can you fix some hinges on the back of the tv, and put a shelf (or few) in the chimney, then close the tv over the shelf, keeping it real minimal?
That way, you can just remove a load of bricks, insert a shelf, and drop the cabling down.
