personally i find butterfly clips are best for stud walls if you cant find a timber as spreads the load on the screw as when full of water its quite heavy.

what i done to mine was remove the section of plasterboard behind the radiator and put studs in so i knew i was going to get a good fix,alot more work with re-boarding and skimming the wall but i know its not going to come off the wall if one of the kids lean on it
