I could, but it took a good 5 minutes for them to appear (I have dialup), with megabytes of data flying and my hard disk grinding. And one picture was truncated. That site is so overloaded with Javascript and adware it's ridiculous. -- "In 1964 Barry Goldwater declared: 'Elect me president, and I will bomb the cities of Vietnam, defoliate the jungles, herd the population into concentration camps and turn the country into a wasteland.' But Lyndon Johnson said: 'No! No! No! Don't you dare do that. Let ME do it.'" - Characterization (paraphrased) of the 1964 Goldwater/Johnson presidential race by Professor Irwin Corey, "The World's Foremost Authority". |

That site is so overloaded with Javascript and adware it's ridiculous. I'm on dialup as well. With a cleared cache and opening browser from scratch, it took about 45 sec to display running at 47kbps. File is 90kb. Running Avast! AV & PCTools Firewall Plus. 3GHz CPU & 1GB RAM. |

I think there was something wrong with the website when i first looked. I'm on a T1 carrier, so it came up quickly. You're stating what the picture shows, but not stating what you want to do. Do the bolts in their present position not fit the toilet base holes? The tiler butted thinset & tiles right against where the bolts need to slide out... http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=sf8gmt&s=4 It would be simply enough to chip out enough tile to free the bolts. I'm sure the toilet base would cover it. You probably need to expand on the problem before anyone can offer advice. -- Wayne Boatwright ******************************************* Date: Monday, 08(VIII)/18(XVIII)/08(MMVIII) ******************************************* Countdown till Labor Day 1wks 6dys 5hrs 54mins ******************************************* Hate is not the opposite of love; apathy is. - Rollo May ******************************************* |

Just an amusing post on what you can find. Any toilet I've pulled always has had the elongated cutouts for the bolts at 9 & 3 o'clock. This one was put in at noon and 6 o'clock. Not sure why. The two slots at 9 & 3 do fit. I suppose tilers are used to going as close to the ring as possible since the bolts are usually insterted from the top anyway. You are right about getting out a piece so the bolts can be slipped out. The Roto-Zip I got a bit back came with a 3 1/2" dry diamond blade and did a neat quick job. Also makes it a piece of cake cutting off the bolts to length to put the caps on. |

Glad to know that the bolt positions worked with your toilet. I've been wanting one of those Roto-Zips.
