Default Conical Rubber Washers for WC Seat Fittings

I spent a fortune on an upmarket WC seat and no matter how many times
I tighten the wing nuts underneath they come loose and the seat keeps
moving out of alignment. The previous seat had conical rubber washers
underneath that self aligned in the holes in the pan. Wish I had kept
them.


Are they proper metal wing nuts or those horrible nylon things that
strip their thread as soon as they're tightened to any extent?

Tip - get someone to sit on the seat while tightening the nuts
(apologies if this is stating the bleedin' obvious).
