Hello,

I have a piece of metal that I would like to secure to my brick

Easiest and cheapest is to drill 1//2" holes (or whatever you prefer)
and use *any 2 part epoxy to anchor a common dowel in the hole. No
danger of splitting or cracking bricks from expanding type fasteners.
The dowel is very well suited to common wood screws, but some hardwood
dowels should be pre drilled for old soft brick *as a matter of
respect for the material. *Used this technique for years for hand
railings, mounting electric service panels and boxes, hanging
decorative shutters and planters, house numbers, etc.

Joe

the epoxy anchors are one of the better ideas, as these will not have
be torqued down creating wavy
sheet metal. You wouldnt need half inch though. maybe quarter inch
would work well.
