Tv Mount in CRT TV cabinet space
Im replacing a CRT 19" tv with a 32 inch flat screen. The old tv sits in an entertainment cabinet space. The new tv won't fit in the space. Want to mount it in front of the space. Any suggestions on...

I ahve done this and it is pretty easy. The number one thing is that you must have the right TV Mount.
My installation was a bit more difficult as my slide passes over where the new flat screen sits (hangs) and the clearances had to be right.
Here are some pics:
What I did inside the cabinet was to take two pieces of half inch plywood and cut two pieces the same size. As you can see one goes on the mounting side and one is used as a Backing plate on the opposite side of the wall. Now in my case there was a hollow wall between the TV cabinet and the adjoining closet. But in any case I would use a backing plate.
I mounted the plywood backing plates with stainless steel scres from both sides. (you can see one of them in the photo) I used the Black Lag Bolts that came with the TV Mount which I bought at Best Buy.
Please ignore the dust...it's a leftover from the Alaska Highway.
I leave the tv mounted when underway it has never moved. This particular mount will let the tv move in virtually any direction.
As you can see from the photos behind the TV I covered the plywood with a bit of plywood wall covering from the trailer I had left over from removing the bunk in by 2nd "bedroom". to the casual observer it's almost unnoticeable.
Hope this is helpful.
