The job is now (almost) done.Â* Annoyingly, one of the three Rawlbolts

slightly too large to prevent the fitting from rotating.

I can't withdraw the loose fitting to investigate without removing the
baseplate and I can't do that without completely removing the two
successful bolts; and I'm reluctant to do that in case doing so weakens
the hold of their fittings.

Perhaps just two of the three bolts will be enough...

If you've used say "red" rawlplugs - tap a "yellow" one into the
rawlplug in the wall. That will jam the "red" one in place and allow the
screw to grip. In a previous life I fitted curtain rails and pelmets for
my ex-wife. That (not the ex-wife - so much!) could be a challenge as
the curtains were heavy and often needed to support the weight of a
cat/toddler hanging onto them. :-)
