Home Improvement Asked by Owner of an Older House on February 15, 2021
The lid on my toilet seat slammed down one time too many (I found this site by searching for the answer to that problem, which I had kluged by putting a bungee cord around the tank to hold the lid up while cleaning the bowl) and sheared off the pin around which the seat and lid and bolt extensions rotate. It’s a piece of opaque plastic (acrylic?) and probably costs about a dollar, so I don’t want to buy a whole new seat & lid combo just to replace that piece.
I intend to use the brilliant solution I found on this site (rotating the hinges 180 degrees) to keep this from happening again, but in the meantime I’d rather not send the seat & lid combo to the landfill for lack of a tiny piece of plastic. Any suggestions welcome.
To clarify for the helpful souls who responded so far: I do not want to replace the hinges if I can repair them.
I’m not sure what the stainless steel bolt and nut refer to. The piece whose name (and buying site!) I am looking for is a small cylinder of plastic/acrylic/manmade whatever. There are no bolts or washers or parts that stick out. Just a smooth cylinder. Sorry that I wasn’t clearer 🙁
