Usually there are plastic wing nuts under the seat you hold the screw stable with a regular driver while

unscrewing them. 

 

I have had a cheap toilet seat break. Get a better one.  Most dunnies can handle  executive logs but no fun sitting on a flimsy slice of plastic while reading MAD magazine

My granny used to have a wooden outside lav seat, it was lovely in winter, not cold on the arse at all :smile:

 

But.

 

The ruddy thing split, as wood is wont to do.

 

Of course the split opened up when one sat down, and closed again as the weight went off ...

 

It's so easy to get one's balls caught when standing up.

The hairs got trapped far more easily than anything slightly larger ...

As I mentioned:

 

This seat is old.

 

This seat, for some unknown reason, uses metal screws to hold the seat in place.

 

This is an abomination, and utter supidity.

 

Where there is water, there is sure to be corrosion.

 

Therefore, of course, manufacturers have now chosen to use plastic screws, which work well, and which do not corrode, and which are very easily removable.

You might need some kind of brawny bloke with an angle grinder or some other power tool then.

I have been searching for some STAINLESS STEEL toilet seat, but they are not available.

 

I think I might buy this one.

 

Because, I prefer to buy a commercial toilet seat which will never break...and....one which...

I can take with me as I move from place to place.

 

A toilet seat is like a pillow....

 

In that, you need one that feels comfortable to you.

 

This is why I will now buy a high quality seat which will move with me, from one guesthouse to the next, to make my movements more enjoyable....

IMHO:  A stainless steel seat and seat cover would be far better for use in Thailand.

 

Why?

 

It would never break, and it would be cooler to sit upon during the Hot Season in Thailand.

 

Anyone know where I can find some stainless steel throne seats????

Thank you, Sir.

 

Good advice, usually.

Yes.

Either a grinder....or...

A hack saw, of the type used by prisoners for making jail breaks.

Sometimes, toilet-seat designers fail to take into account Big G.

Never underestimate Big G....

 

And, Newtons matter, for that matter.....

I reckon sucking down executive logs has more to do with the bernoulli equation.

Stainless steel is a great idea. I saw in a Bar in NYC. Like in a prison. Vandal proof and easy to clean

I'm a plumber with 50 years experience just give it a few squirts with something that frees up corrosion. In Australia we use WD 40. This same type of thing can bought in any hardware outlet in Thailand and may cost you 50 baht. May I add this is a different type of screwing that I'm used to in Pattaya.

Why should getting one's balls caught in anything bother you when you don't have any?

PLEASE.....Forget about Stainless Steel!

 

After a bit of research..... I think....

 

COPPER bung seats are the thing for me!

 

Also, as we ALL know.....

 

Copper is anti-microbial, too!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If I order now...I can get free shipping, as Mr. C. recommended.

 

And, I will be able to use this copper seat by April 29.....IF....

 

I can find some way to remove the screws holding in place my old lousy garbage toilet seat.

I never forgot the time we went on a camping holiday going on 70 years ago. So we stopped at the camping park and I needed a crap. So when I walked into the toilet I noticed writing on the wall. " There's no use standing on the seat as the crabs in here can jump 6 feet "
