    Non standard toilet
    Hi,
    I need to renew my toilet seat but the distance between the holes on the bowl are not standard (4 and a half inches), the ones in DIY stores are all around 5 and a half inches.
    The toilet maker is "vision" but no joy to date tracking down a seat that will fit.. can someone help me get to the bottom of this (no pun intended!)

    The standard size is 6" centers for toilet seats. What's the brand name on your bowl? How old is it? Back to you, Tom

    What is "vision" ? Brand ? Model ? What country are you in ? Can you post a photo of your toilet ? Is it round / oval seat ? Open front ? Thank you
