Which bolts are they? I don't think I've ever seen a cistern that had
such a thing. Aren't they always attached to the fabric of the room
separately, then the only thig with "bolts" is a steel clamp plate
that's pulled down onto the pan so as to crush the doughnut and squirt
it sideways, thus sealing against the syphon outlet.

Quite common. You get both the 'steel plate design and the 'holes through
bottom of cistern' design. The latter has 2 SS bolts & cone shaped rubber
washers. They go right through the cistern & pan and are done up
underneath.

Yes I know.
