      Yes!!! I bought a 2-in-1 kid/adult size & it came with the almost exact SAME screw things just and every time I would put the seat on, left side came slightly up so I thought ok, what did I do wrong? I tried to take it off to fix it & the right side kept hanging up. I thought... I'm going to start drinking soon.....
      Hopefully finished soon....

    Great video.
    I know what you mean about Screwfix. I took 2 different sized screws that I needed, when I asked if they had any identical ones the guy behind the counter looking at them in a puzzled manner and said no we don't sell them without even consulting his colleagues.
    I ended up going to my local ironmonger and got exactly what I needed.
    Screwfix should change their name to Nutcases!
    Thanks again for sharing your knowledge with us.
    Take care,
    Steve. 👍👍

    Thank you so much for this video. We have a similar toilet and need to replace the toilet seat. But I couldn't understand how it was attached because we have only ever had ones that used bolts with nuts that you tightened from underneath. NOW I understand - it's a plastic sinker! Finally an improved toilet seat installation.

    As do not have the install instructions, newly moved into the house, your video helped me understand that the "Pins" must be at the back. As they were not, I removed and re-installed and is working much better now.
    Great job videoing and doing the work at the same time.

    Thank u for uploading and sharing this. You state that the bolts were still rolling what u need to do is use your left hand to hold 05 whilst screwing in bolts. That's how u obtained the the firmness otherwise the toilet seat will move when sat on and this will the mechanism.

I don't want to return the seat and I'm wondering if there is anything else that I could use to do the job instead of the supplied expansion plugs. Any ideas anyone? :)

    is that the right shape toilet seat for the bowl? it looks more like a rectangular bowl, not quite the same shape as the seat you have, I could be wrong but I did the same job and had to search to get a seat that fitted nicely on the bowl. :-) so more like a D shape seat?

    • @okunrin3
      @okunrin3  5 років тому

      You got eagle eyes.
      No it’s not the perfect shape, but it’s wasn’t too out of place.
      If I do it next time I’ll search for a more matching shapes.
      Did you get the matching shapes?
      Others that want to fix their seat may be able to do it better by finding the perfect shape.
      What’s other shapes did you find?

      @@okunrin3 Ok ! I will subscribe. I am a 69 year old woman that got this pretty toilet seat and did not understand how to put it together, it did not come with instruction and I got it for $6 dollar new and it cost $110.00. I thank you again. :)

      I so happy the video helped out.
      You are the star here, 69 years old and you fixed your own toilet by yourself.
      Well done.
