The problem with a lot of internal bricks is that they are fast wall which has more air than clay. Most of the time a 75mm screws doesn't hold any more than a 55mm screw. Just use regular chipboard screws as their course thread pulls up well in the spaghetti. You can then use standard screw caps or covers over the screws. In this situation the fixings are really taking shear force so as long as the screws pull up (you can tell if the screw is going to hold as soon as you put it in) then you really don't have to go mad with dyna bolts or coach screws, just put a screw in each corner and one in the middle (depending on size of course) and one in each corner at the bottom. The top is more important so any extra fixings are better at the top. A 5.5mm masonry bit a roll of spaghetti and your screws as well as a cordless drill/driver are really all you need. Also a couple of props to hold your overheads up while you are fixing them.
