Yeah, another toilet bolt thread. I searched the other threads for my situation but found none.
I bought a new one-piece toilet to replace the old two-piece.
There are 2 bolts in the floor for the bottom to attach to, but my new toilet is missing these 2 bolts by about 1 inch. The new toilet has to go into the wall further by 1 inch and the bolts would then line up and the toilet could be secured.
The wall is an exterior wall, with wood frost wall and drywall; so altering the wall is nearly out of the question.
Is it possible to drill through the base/flange of the toilet to ensure the bolts go through the toilet? Then, possibly fill the remaining holes in the toilet flange with silicone or something?
The toilet was purchased a while back with the assumption it would fit, so returning it for a refund or exchange is not an option.
Any tips or ideas?
