The things you never notice til they need replacing:
I am going to replace the toilet seat and lid, looking on ebay at soft close and their dimensions how the heck do you measure it as nothing is an exact fit to the size of the bowl. I then start looking at what is already installed in the 2 toilets and in both the seats overhangs slightly, is this normal? both at the sides and at the front. Should it be exact or should there be an overhang?
In one toilet it is all matching so I assume it came as a package together, the other I think was cobbled together.
Is it an exact science or just get the best fit?
