I think I have made a bad choice of accessory!

With SWMBO I bought a towel rail and toilet roll holder. The toilet
roll holder needs to have a small spigot screwed to the wall with two
screws at approx 9/16 centres. The chrome holder then fits to theis
spigot. Two screws are needed to resist the holder from twisting.

The trouble is that the wall is dab n dob plasterboard. I am thinking
that I am going to get into difficulties trying to get a good fixing.
Going into the breeze block is possible but as yet I am not sure how
far back it is. Even then I need to prevent the plasterboard pulling
in and making the fitting loose.

Any ideas? I want a neat job.

metal Redidrivas (screwfux,toolsatan et al) doing that job in 3
bathrooms here....

The problem is the closeness of the hole spacings. The Redidrivas
would be touching each other and would seriously weaken the
plasterboard..
Perhaps if I can find a Chrome electrical blanking plate..........and
can bolt the spigot to it.......
I think I need to take it back to Homebase and start looking for an
alternative design where the twisting force will be taken along a
longer base. Pity as I liked the look of it and its matching towel
rail.
