Marine Toilet Seat Hinges
I have a Wilcox-Crittenden Headmate toilet installed and the seat hinges are crap. Though the toilet is less than three years old, the plastic hinges developed a series of cracks and one of them broke in two. I looked around in the hardware stores but couldn't find suitable hinges. Incidentally, my old toilet had the same problem with broken hinges. I bought a new seat assembly for it for 35 bucks - way too dear, IMO. So I looked on the Internet. I found replacement hinges for less than ten bucks on Amazon dot com. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000QS3JKY They fit the existing screw holes in the seat and look like the originals. The only difference I can see is the top lid of the seat is a little higher in the back now. If you sit on the top lid itself for whatever reason you might need to place an insert between the upper lid hinge arms and the lower seat so the plastic hinge doesn't take the strain of your weight as it would probably end up breaking. -- Sir Gregory |
