Topic: TV Tilt Mount Posted: 13 Jul 2018 at 7:00pm |
I installed the Harbor Freight mount today. As mentioned I only used the tilt/swivel mechanism and the TV mount. The PEX tube option SH suggestion was a winner. Only issue was I had to press the PEX tube into the mount arm. I used a longer bolt and two flat washers. No biggee and at end of the day the mount tilts and swivels just fine. 15 dollar improvement and works great. Appreciate the info.

Glueguy got his from Amazon (the link in his post). It is not the same as the one in the original post and in my mods. That one is one distributed by Harbor Freight Tools. It is printed on the box next to the bar code.

So Glueguy is that the same mount as we are discussing in this post?

Have no idea what you are buying, but not buying China means you're not buying much.

You're going to be hard pressed to find one not made in China, at least at a decent price point. |

That is exactly what I described in my mods. The factory arm with the HF head and mounting plate.

We just got one of these. A couple of the mounting holes matched up, but a few of them didn't. NBD. The only issue was that the tilt was more up than down, so I reversed the mount so that it would tilt down more than up.

I wonder if just the head could be made to work with the factory mount's arm. |
