Finding a new cistern to fit my close coupled toilet

[mudson]

Hi - I have an old (maybe 45 year old) Twyfords Close Coupled toilet. The cistern has cracked, and I'd like to replace just the cistern. I'm struggling to find anything described as a close coupled cistern which doesn't have the bolt holes. I was hoping to find one with no bolt holes and just use the metal mounting plate for the bolts - e.g. part number CF8100XX. Any ideas where I can find such a cistern? Or can I use any cistern even a low level one? Anything else I need to be aware of?

Thanks.

The extra bolt holes don't really matter just put bolts in up side down to seal holes off.
Try to get a cistern with same center to back measurement.
Having said that I would just change the whole dam thing only way it will ever look anything.

Reclaim yard but expect to pay through the nose for the cistern.

You would have extreme trouble finding a cistern to match a 10 year old pan let alone a 45 year old pan.

How bad is the crack? Hair line crack or a descent crack.
