[donny7]

hi, what do you guys use regarding screwcaps /covers when fitting toilet pans. Some manufactures supply a sleeve and cap but others dont, just wondering what you use

3" brass screws, paint them with your missus white nail varnish if required

if they are supplied with the pan we use them,if not 3" brass pan screws.

I don't think that you can beat Fischer fixings, stainless steel coach screw fixing for a w/c , brass or sheridised screws are so old fashioned

Totally agree with Plouasne. I use Fischer basin kits and WC kits, usually order 5 at a time from Screwfix. Top dollar.

The mounting holes in some WC pans are too narrow to accept the Fischer fixings.
