| 572865 | 2007-07-26 02:24:00 | This hasn't been a great month for me... first busted ribs, then broken door, now this... My missus' cousin is visiting from overseas this weekend and I tried to tighten the loose toilet seat in the main bathroom for her. It's hardly ever used which is why I never attended to it until now. So I'm tightening one of the nuts on the plastic bolt underneath and the damn thing snaps in two. Bloody cheap nylon or acrylic or whatever. I tried to superglue the bolt back together but the damn thing wouldn't take. So where can I get a replacement? I tried the yellow coloured advertising book for plumbing supplies, but didn't get any decisive info ("bring the part in and we'll see"). The brand on the loo is Imperial. Does anyone know where I can buy a replacement part here in East/South Auckland? Thanks. |

| 572869 | 2007-07-26 03:03:00 | I did that not long ago and when I asked my little plumber if he could get me a new bolt/nut replacement he said he hadn't seen any before and didn't think they would be available. Told me to go buy a whole new seat unit instead. :( It seems to be managing quite well without it, just that the seat is a little bit wobbly. :p |

Cheers Billy 8-{) Yeah right. They are not exactly a normal bolt and they are different for every seat type. Save yourself a lot of trouble and buy a new seat. |
