My house was built in the 1790s. It had an outhouse until 1956 when a pair of stylish porcelain thrones were installed. I love the old fixtures. One still has the original toilet seat on it and it's fantastic. The other toilet has been through 3 toilet seats in 4 or 5 times as many years. Does anyone make a quality toilet seat for a round bowl in white with traditional nickel plated hardware? I've exhausted my Google-fu.

Buy separate hardware from the seat? I dunno.

EDIT: Hell fahr!! This is a gun forum. Send the metal hardware off to be coated in nickel.

But which recoil pad would be most appropriate?

Definitely one that redirects the recoil........

Maybe a cast-off toilet seat similar to a Weatherby stock........

If you have a recycling store near you, check there. Habitat for Humanity has one here called RESTORE. They usually have old toilets, windows, doors, and all kinds of stuff.

I'm thinking Monte Carlo - with a rollover cheek piece...


But seriously, it wouldn't be too difficult to make one or have one made. Imagine what a nice slab of walnut or birds eye maple would be. Classic and gorgeous.

An oil finish, and stains would be unnoticeable.

I can't believe that no one has pointed out that it was the Swedes who invented the toilet seat and the Norwegians who improved the design by cutting a hole in the center.

Me? I'd go the DIY route. Take the hardware off the old seat, trace the bowl on cardboard and then cut out a new seat and lid on 3/4" marine plywood. Shape it, fill in the voids with putty, sand it and finish it as you want.
