   I dont think i would attatch it to the brick. If It is attatched to wood structure above and below, you are all set. With a single course brick veneer wall on new construction, the brick ties are attached to the framing to keep the brick wall from bowing away from the structure. With the fact that you have a double course wall as you said, that would be even less of an issue. Plus you are going to use engineered lumber (I commend that call) and that is more dimentionally stable than regular wood. I would be more concerned with repointing any of the brick if it needs it before it gets covered. Then, use a good felt paper between your wood framing and the brick to prevent any moisture from wicking into the wood frame.

   Thanks for reply, the felt is a good idea even though the house is in dry southern Utah. Should have mentioned that cabinets are being custom made , bases out of 3/4" plywood so will also add to stability.

   As mentioned, I would rely primarily on the top and bottom plate to pion this wall in place. I might be tempted to usea flexable bonding caulk like Geocel to seal the joint at the end stud - we are talking about running this wal perpendicular to the brick wall, riht?

   For hanging cabinets, thjere are metal rail systems for some cabs to hang wall units on the brick. I have done custrom cabs with similar in wood. Just bevel the top edge of a 1x4 and fasten it to the wall along the entire run, with a corresponding bevel on the back top of the cabninets. Then lift and set. Cab hangs.

   but that would hold the top away from the wall for regular factory made units, so you would have to plan accordingly and shim the bottoms out and trim at the verticle meeting edges.

   thanks for reply, the wall will be parallel and cover the double course brick wall.

   In that case, you will not need any special details to attach cabinets to it, and you will want to keep the studs separated from the masonry by a small air gap
