Review on MD Mounting Dream MD5231 TV Wall Mount: Extended Bracket for 16” Wall Plate, Fits 18”-24” Wood Stud, 154 LB Capacity by John Patterson

Unfortunately my old house has an 18 inch frame in the middle. I had to go with this mount as the TV mount is only designed for 16" in the center. This bracket also causes the entire mounting bracket to extend about an additional 1.25 inches from the wall. Doesn't sound like much, but the difference is noticeable. I am considering removing this extension and replacing it with a corner. The screws on the inner tracks were very tight, the head didn't fit.
