Make sure you double check 38in is the desired look you want with the railing height you plan to purchase. These sleeves are available in 42,48inch etc. if desired. This is called a post sleeve (hollow on the inside) and slides down on a 4x4 wood post.

A:  Use a masonry drill to make hole in brick (it may crumble), pour epoxy into hole, insert bolt with head cut off and threaded end up, tighten nut with washer after mounting plate into 4 bolts / holes. Good luck. Alternative would be to remove brick and use pure concrete to mount four bolts.
