I may have jumped the gun with my questions about replacing the bowl on a Standard Modernus-- plus I kinda hijacked Nick2000's thread on his repair questions (btw, Nick, I'm envious of YOUR problem!!!)
Can't make it to my folks house tonight to measure the closet this toilet's located in. Will do tomorrow.
Two quick questions for The Gurus amongst us:
1) is the drain flange on a Standard Modernus indeed much farther forward than the flange on a "modern" two-bolt commode?
2) and, if the answer to #1 YES, how much farther forward would the front of a "modern" toilet set? The seat front is already uncomfortably close to the sink (a matching pedestal style...) If the answer to #1 is NO, then I'm headed to HD & buy a toilet!
...I really want to get SOME sort of flusher installed by week's end; my mom's currently unable to get upstairs to the regular bathroom & is reliant on a porta pot (yuck!!!) I'll be out of town all next week for work, so even a temporary or "rigged" solution this week would be better than the portapot!
Thanks to all who've provided suggestions already! Y'all are fast!
Best,
Jim B.
