Hi,

We have a close-coupled toilet that IIRC came from Screwfix. It does
not use the "traditional" close-coupling kit, i.e. there is no metal
bracket. Instead the cistern sits on top of the pan and there are two
holes, one either side, drilled through the cistern and through the
pan, and through these are two nylon bolts with a small rubber washer
on each. There is the usual big doughnut on the flush outlet.

It makes you wonder who designs this stuff. " I know, instead of using that
perfectly good idea thats been around for ages, lets drill holes in the
botton of the 20+ litre water cistern".

I did ask BES if they stocked these just in case I ever needed spares
and they had not heard of them. As you can imagine, I've gone and lost
one. Before I phone SF tomorrow, has anyone else seen these before and
do you know what they are called and where I can buy them from?

I would imagine any old nylon bolt would do, since it is submerged
metal would rust. I would however need to find some suitable washers.

Most of the ones I've seen have used stainless steel bolts. IIRC the
washers are cone shaped?

Proper plumbers merchant might help.
