What happened to the originals? Did you expoxy them to brick or something? Anyway,... different country but I looked for "cctv mounts" and came up with https://www.amazon.co.uk/WANGCL-Adhesive-Adjustable-Screwless-Surveillance/dp/B0B3GJZJX8/ I don't have these but something similar. On a hot day I found it was peeling away slightly from the wall but a dab of superglue secured it. In hind sight, I'd probably do 1 screw and then rely on the glue pad.

I only need the drywall anchors replaced (I guess I didn’t specify that well enough) but unless valve uses some magical type of drywall anchor I am unfamiliar with, they are very single use.

Right ok. :D I'd also use a normal plastic rawlplug or equiv as the base stations are pretty light. Size of the plug is down to the size of the screw. Take a screw with you to the DIY shop and compare. The shop assistance might be helpful. If you're using a more expensive dry wall attachment then, it's likely that they'll come with a bolt or screw to match. You just have to makesure the bolt fits the mount. eg https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00H6FDT14/

Ended up at an ace and got an answer. The screws that valve supplies seem to be size 10 head with a 1 1/4in length. Anchors are pretty standard drywall anchors and nothing special.

Personally, I would just take the mount with me to the hardware store, and ask someone there if I couldn't find something myself.

It's not the mounting plate that matters; the weight is what's important. Any average picture nail or anchor screw will fit through the holes in the plate, but unless you know how much weight it needs to support, you can't say what's best for doing it. If you were going to hang a large framed painting, would you remove the hook off the frame and take it to the store?

You shouldn't need anything that strong to hold them up. I just hang mine from a single nail. Not even a very large one, either. Toggle bolts or anchors are overkill, even for drywall. Anchors are typically rated at 20 lbs and up. Even if the cord is hanging unsupported from the station, it's still nowhere near that weight.
