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:

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.

You can buy screw on hinges for wooden toilet seats

In case it helps in the future, B&Q website links to specific (single) items can be truncated after the 7digit product ID code to give a shorter link.
For the part you pointed at, this link will get you there:
