I probably should have worded it better, i mean how are the bricks
supported while you get the bracket in place?

Well my chimney just sat there unsupported while the brackets were
fitted, not by me a hasten to add. I suppose if you were at all worried
you could fit a much wider lintel which was propped in some way while
you knocked ot the remaining brickwork then fitted the brackets.

Probably a bad idea to be using a large SDS drill to drill any
holes in the wall whilst it's unsupported though ;-)
