Hi I installing a new toilet in the basement of a house built in the 1970s.
The old one was mounted on a 3/4" piece of plywood profiled to match the bottom of the old toilet. When I removed the toilet I found three studs (1/4" concrete anchors) w/ no nuts on them to secure the plywood to the floor. One in the back and two in the front. The plywood has two carrage
bolts coming up through the plywood to anchor the toilet? The sewer pipe is 4" cast iron "street L" I beleive, which sticks up out of the concrete about 3/4".
There is no flange w/ t-bolts in the floor. What would be the best way to mount the new toilet? I could cork the sewer pipe w/ wet rag and cut the pipe flush w/ the floor using a cut off wheel and set anchors to mount the toilet or make a new chunk of plywood to match the profile of the new toilet.
Please advise me as to what would be the best way to go.
Thanks,
Doug
