Hello - I removed the toilet in a 1963 era home only to find it doesn't have the normal closet flange. Instead it just has 2 threaded holes in it that you twist the closet bolts into. On top of that, at one point they tiled the floor so the flange is now a good 5/8 below the level of the tile.
I'm debating whether to try placing a regular closet flange on top of this one, but I'm not really sure how I'd secure it. I also don't want to create a huge mess by busting out a bunch of tile around it.
Any thoughts? Should I just use the existing flange? Maybe an extra thick wax ring to make up for the height of the tile?
