Toilet flange question
 
I will be replacing my toilet this weekend. The last time I had the
toilet off I had a terrible time with the bolts because the flange has
eroded over the years. I was told that there is a ring that fits over
the flange with a series of bolt holes so that you can attach the ring
to the flange and have new support for the bolts to attach the toilet
to. Any idea's?

I think this link may be better for what the OP needs.

I've seen them at ACE Hardware and I assume they are available at Home
Depot, etc.

That looks like a cheap piece of crap but what do I know I'm just a
plumber

I think a quick google search for "super closet ring" might get you
the product you are thinking about.

Thanks for all of your quick replies, I apologize for my late reply. I
think the suggestions from Beta-32 and Layperson Tom were what my friend
was suggesting, BUT the closet flange that Sacramento Dave suggested
looks like it would be more secure and have a better seal. I am
asssuming that the bottom rubber part stretches around the old flange
and then attaches to the top???
I'm off work today and will see what the Home Depot and Lowes has to offer.

Thanks to all.

AFter you have the flange fixed, next use a "Fernco waxless toilet
seal". That is one improvement on how-to-do-it that was called for
years ago.

Some of those have a Rubber cover for testing. Don't forget to cut it out
before you mount the water closet, it dose happen.
