a clue, I'm not a plumber.) I'm a couple of miles from a very well
stocked plumbers supply store that I've bought numerous items from
in the past, so I may pay them a visit.

another board I posted at on this, and I apologize for that.
Not that I know of, but the replacement pipes to connect the tank
to the bowl are sold at real plumbing stores.

You won't find them at HomeCeapo or Slows.

total BS

But "readily available" means he can walk into his usual supply shop,
get a cup of coffee, and say, "Hey, Bob, give me one of ___." And Bob
just hands it over the counter. If he has to look in catalogs or wait
for a special order, or go to any effort whatsoever, it, by definition,
isn't "readily available".
