Am currently installing a new bathroom suite.

Removed the old toilet to tile behind it. Went to fit the new one, only
to find the new tank is a lot smaller and doesn't touch the wall,
leaving a 40mm gap (or thereabouts).

Can't push the toilet pan back any further. So, is it a case of taking
the pan back off and cutting the soil pipe back by 40mm, or do I just
use an extra long screw and some sort of spacer?

Thanks in advance.



Put a wooden batten along the back. Say 40mm thick by 50mm for the full
width minus an inch on each end.

Sand it and make it nice. Paint it white.

Fix to wall and fix cistern to it with stainless screws.

From most angles you probably will not even notice it.
