We have some similar brackets with x3 fixing holes, and I used 2 slot headed japanned screws top/bottom and then cut the heads off the others and stuck them on with super glue. Very un-lfgss, but they're rocks solid and it made for a quicker job with less drilling.
If you are set on those bolts, then I think it might be worth DIY heating them to lose the shinny finish. Depending what you want I'd either brush them with a green pad, or polish them before heating.
function, aesthetic after. I think I will use all 3 on each bracket and not have a third bracket. And just gauge how it is doing weight wise. Good idea on removing the shiny finish and I might paint the bracket the wall colour. cheers
Are we talking about aesthetics or function?
