Toilet Seat Hinge Screws
The OD of the plastic toilet seat hinge screws for my seat is 3/8". The
hole in the porcelain is larger than 1/2". The screws do not have a shoulder washer to cause them to center in the hole. Why aren't the holes closer to the right size? |

The screws do not have a shoulder washer to cause them to center in the hole. Why aren't the holes closer to the right size? Because they work just fine as is. I've never had a problem. Making ceramic fixtures is not the same as machining metal and they allow a large tolerance for many possible variations of attachments. If you have a problem, insert a plastic sleeve or slip plastic tubing over the bolt. |

Toilet Seat Hinge Screws
My mom had bought removable toilet seats from Sears in the 1970s.
Other than cracking leg/bumpers they are still in great shape. You can remove the entire seat and wash it once a month. But I wonder why can't I just buy a set of hinges to make ANY seat detachable? I have a hard enough time finding the same seats. - = - Vasos Panagiotopoulos, Columbia'81+, Reagan, Mozart, Pindus, BioStrategist http://www.panix.com/~vjp2/vasos.htm ---{Nothing herein constitutes advice.
