yeah it's the closet bolt slots.


Is there nothing left to the hold the johnny bolts in place?


the flange itself looks to be in good shape except for the broken
closet bolt slots. it's a 'normal' closet flange, glued to the
outside of the pipe. getting down there is not an option since it's
in the basement concrete floor, so whatever i do has to be done above
the floor.- Hide quoted text -

Perhaps you can cut your old one off/out and use a replacement twist-
flange:

Click any of the 3 right-hand pictures here and see if one those will
work. The semi-circle one that appears to go under the existing flange
seems like it might work for you.


these look good...wonder if there's a tool to cut a flange away freom
the inside of the pipe...


I don't know how smooth a surface you would need if you were going to
use the twist in insert. If it doesn't have to be perfect because the
rubber "boot" will seal it, then grinding the old flange away with a
Dremel (and a vacuum) might work.

thanks much!
