How do I install a toilet to this?... Lead bend no flange

[wang168]

Replacing an old toilet, to to find there's no normal flange. The previous owner just attached it with a bolt as shown in pictures. I mean there was no leaks or anything. How do I attach my new toilet to this? . It's a cement floor. https://imgur.com/QNR5Gjs

You put another brass toilet bolt on the other side, just like the one you have, put in a wax ring and set the toilet.

There's no "slot" the opening its the same size, wax residue made it look like it did. https://imgur.com/geijwMG

The opening is there as indicated in #2, just flake off any rust and debris with a chisel and it will show.

If there really is no opening for you to insert the flange bolt, then use anything to open it up, dremel or grinder.

I have no problem inserting the flange bolt just that the bolt would have to sit in the middle of the openings (shown in pic) to mount the toilet I'm these. I guess I could hold the bolt in place with a nut first , then mount the toilet.

Yeah pretty much it. Cause only way to mount my toilet is to have the bolt right in the middle of the slot. And there a lot of space in the slot it's pretty easy for the standard bolt that came with the wax ring to slip out. Do you think adding a repair flange ring on top will help or that can cause leaks?

Where the bolt is, is immaterial as long as the head is underneath. It CANNOT "slip out", but use a second nut and washer to hold it in place anyway.
