I'm trying to fix down a new WC pan to a wooden floor.
Normally, one would screw straight down (or at a slight angle with
long screws) into the floorboards to hold the thing steady.
However, the design of this one is such that I can only get a screw in
horzintally (ie parallel to the floor) since the holes are in the
sides of the pan.
Any chance of some pictures?
I don't have a camera handy, but if you go here

You will see a standard toilet pan which can be screwed *down* the
floor. It is an Ideal but mine is Lecico (who have no suggestions,
nicely).
The one I have is like this

which has holes which can only be screwed into horizontally.
Common sense would suggest a block of wood screwed to the floor then
screw into that, but for the WC pan the u-bend is in the way, so no
joy.
If I could, I would take the thing and sling it in a skip. Classic
form over function. Designed to look nice and yet rubbish to work
with. Like modern cars and god knows what else.
Hehe! Rant, Rant!
Any suggestions?

Almost certainly there should be a bracket(s) with it - you need to
phone your supplier...
