Fixing a bog seat

Not exactly the most thrilling thread, but hoping someone can help.

Just bought a house, and the main bog has a problem on one of the hidden hinges.
I took it apart and there was no plug in it - so I bought one of these:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01N9FA28I/ref=pe_3187911_189395841_TE_3p_dp_1

thinking it would do the trick.
It fix in the hole, and I screwed it all together - but its not tightening at all. Any suggestions?

I don't mind buying a full new bog seat, but it'll be hard to find the exact size - probably harder than just fixing the fucker.

I'm actually concerned this is correct!

I'll have to take a the working side apart and see what type of plug is in that I think. I can't see another way. Must be a non-standard part ffs

Aren't toilet seats just a standard fit. Cant be that many variants of the bog seat surely

That's what I thought.

I've replaced a couple of these hidden-fittings ones recently, so I thought it'd be fine. The plug looks like the right size, and everything screws back together just fine - but it just doesn't go tight.
 
I might be getting the wrong end of the stick here but can you not just stick a few washers on the underside to nip it up tighter ?

You have taken the round cover plate off to expose the tighteninģ screw underneath??

Yes, the plug was completely missing, so I replaced it. But even though it looks to be the right size, it doesn't grab when I tighten the screw.

Doesn't work like that, no.

Fat kernt :lol:


Jokes aside I'm also a big lad and also had the same issue. I welded the metal rod back together that snapped as I tried to look online but couldn't find.

Unless I purchased a whole new set but fuck that

I didn't even break this one (as opposed to the last one lol).
Everything is they're and fine except the plastic plug that goes into the hole at the back of the pan.
