Fatcatsplat Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 I have a conundrum for the PW massive - The Fatcatsplat household has one Khazi and numerous personnel who utilise it's services on a regular basis - Problem is we are going through at least 3 bog seats a year as the brackets work themselves loose which ususally culminates in a knacker trapping sidewards slide(The problem here may well be exacerbated by me being a bit of a lardy). The seats are all good, but the metalwork is knackered - Anyone got any tips on keeping the pit stop in tip top condition? Any suggestions, practical or humorous, thoroughly encouraged!!

Imperfection Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Get one of them novelty ones which often have sea shells,starfish inside the resin.For some odd reason the metalwork is substantially better quality than your average bog seat.

kiffy Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 knacker trapping.. thats not good.. at least in this cold weather their tucked up outa the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mentalmac Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Cheapo plastic ones lasted the longest for our house. Being that all the fixings are plastic instead of metal, they seem to flex and go back to their original shape rather than bending and staying that way like metal. Plus they are only £10 ish so doesn't matter if you break it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
la bala Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 throw the seat away and squat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seamus Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Install two additional bogs, thus extending each bog seat life by approximately 8 months (assuming a suitable rota is applied). Will eventually save you a fortune. Probably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 (edited) Get one of them seats for the infirm where it clamps to the top of the pan so won't move and you won't need to squat as far Or man up and warm the china rim. Could you not cut grooves into the little bumpers under the seat to stop the side ways slippage on the seat when knocking off the clinker Look at bariatric toilet accessories, the bottom buddy might help with wiping without leaning on one cheek. Have a word with Teal see if he can do a Pigeon Watch spinning hide seat version for bogs. Figgy Edited November 21, 2013 by figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntsman Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 No wonder the foriegners who enter our once proud country dont know where to go they are used to one of these http://www.pointsincase.com/files/u2/hole-ground-toilet.jpg Toilet seats are few,but never needed or broken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wingy Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Knock the base of one of those "big foot" road work cones, the ones mostly used on motorways, chuck the old seat away and throw this over the karzi job done will last ages and cheap to replace.

ditchman Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 use a wood seat, they usually come with brass fitting......then squirt a bit of WD 40 on the fittings.....if a bit rubs off onto the nether regions then its good for the old "farmer giles" problem sorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruno22rf Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 (edited) You can buy pads that screw under the seat and "lip" downwards over the edge thus preventing sideways movement+use Loctite on the mounting screws.

Chris Bb Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 i always use loctite / clear nail varnish on the nut bits - stops them working loose Nail varnish? Seriously, don't consider those "slow fall" seats; what's slow to fall is equally slow to rise. There's you with a full bladder, "she"''s dropped the seat & you're trying to hold the "old fellow" with one hand whilst also trying to raise and stop the bloody seat from repeatedly falling back down with the other.

Yes, that works well to stop slippage 3 seats a year!, blimey that's some failure-rate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonker Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 i always use loctite / clear nail varnish on the nut bits - stops them working loose The nut bits weren't working loose!! they were getting caught in the sideways slide. Besides who introduced you into put nail varnish on your nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEADLY PLUMBER Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Try a pressalit seat they are very strong. Or repair your old seat with long gutter bolts. They are a lot stronger than the crappy plastic bolts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
