one Piece toilet doesnt match holes
hello everyone, I happened to find a good deal on craiglist for a one piece toilet. When i was ready to isntall it , i was not able to put the toilet flush on the flange after lining up my screws. I look at the bottom of the toilet bowl and found out that the holes are not at 9 and 3 o'clock of the exit pipe. They are more like 5 and 7 o'clock.
Im going crazy trying to figure out whats going on, I looked everywhere and cant find any information. I dont see a brand name on the toilet either....I hope someone can she some light into my problem.
Thanks.

Buyer beware....It must be some non US made toilet...
I guess Im stuck with this one. I think I will put some anchors on the ground and attach it that way. Does anyone see a major problem with that. I know is not the approved way to do it, but I guess I have no choise. Its probably a non us made like you said. I'm surprise they would have that here.
But now it makes sense because the regualr 7/8 3/8 hose that connects the toilet for the water doesnt fit. its a little to big.
Never thought that could happen, why would anyone bring a non us toilet to the us? oh well you live you learn.

Is there a name on the toilet?I dont see a brand name on the toilet either.
No I dont see a name, on one of them I see something inside the toilet that says "yato" I am attaching the pics. on the first one you can see on the right edge how the hole doesnt line up. i will try to take better pics when I get back home.
Ok for anyone that is keeping up, I found the website for these toilets.

No problem, I will post pics when I get home. Hopefully this will help someone, because I google everywhere and the wasn't anything about this
Ok here it is by request
Looks to me like a Sioux Chief raise-a-ring has a pattern that might work with that. Might lift the flange too high for you though.Originally Posted by dbomb

if you can post a pic of the inside of te tank...
You can try a set of these, position them so they line up with the bolt holes on the toilet with the horn of the toilet in the existing flange. They must be securely fastened to the floor.

Did you mean the pic from the water tank. Let me knwo if this is what you were asking.
Thanks,
The Asian toilets I used were squat style...no sitting. Made me appreciate the presence of water to cover the smell. Malaysian curry/hot pepper heavy diets and squat toilets make for incredibly pungent restrooms.
The public toilets that used western style commodes had signs illustrating not to stand/squat on top of the toilet.
