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".

My corporate security server blocks tinypics - tinyurl is OK, but not
tinypics.

The rules are based on whether or not the site allows the user to
download items.

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.

I was finally able to see the pictures. 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?

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.

It's a done deal Wayne. Toilet is back in. 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.

Yes, I recognized that the position was opposite of what it should be.
Glad to know that the bolt positions worked with your toilet. I've been
wanting one of those Roto-Zips. Maybe Christmas? :-)
