Toilet seats

[John Smith]

I wish to replace a couple toilet seats, we want white plastic seats of approx 420mm x 375mm and the important measurement is 225mm between the pan fixing bolts - its a Twyford pan of unknown model number. Any ideas where we may obtain such? Thanks, John

Seats I have fitted have been adjustable over quite a range. Never had to find a special to suit an unusual pan.

225mm does sound wide - just measured mine at about 170mm.

Maybe try a proper plumbers merchant not a shed.

Bob ====================== Tried the one local proper plumbers merchants and a couple sheds without success hence this post.

Try a Google search ("toilet seat 225")? I found several sites with questions asking for 225mm spaced seats, some had no replies, another said the widest they sold was 220mm. Then I came to this:

seemed a bit expensive and got me thinking that you are after something rare!

John ============== So far so bad!...I've failed miserably to locate a seat with fixing bolts

225mm apart (seems that 150mm is the norm). Any ideas?

Get the type that are two mounts with a rod in between Change the rod for a longer piece of stainless steel and fit two ss spacers to centralise the seat & lid.
