The OD of the plastic toilet seat hinge screws for my seat is 3/8". The
hole in the porcelain is larger than 1/2". The screws do not have a
shoulder washer to cause them to center in the hole. Why aren't the
holes closer to the right size?


So you have to go back to the Borg and buy the overpriced washers.

They should have been in the box. Perhaps someone swiped them when the box
was on the store shelf. It happens.

I think there was a little more to the story than written. I've replaced a
bunch of seats, and never had a problem. Actually, some of them had some
nifty types of attaching, all aimed at the oversized irregular holes.
