I purchased an 'elongated toilet seat elevator' with arms from Carex, the existing toilet seat is supposed to go on top of this and the existing toilet seat hinge bolts are supposed to get swapped out and replaced with longer/larger diameter bolts supplied with the seat extension. None of my existing toilet seats will work because the hinge/ bolts are an integral piece and can't be swapped out. I bought a new Bemis seat that I thought would work but the hinge/bolts are plastic pieces that can't be swapped out either. Are there any toilet seats out there whose hinge make up will allow me to just swap out the smaller bolt with a larger one, or is my only option to try and find replacement hinges that will accept this larger bolt, and drill new holes .. The bolts that came with the 'Carex seat elevator' appear to be 5/16" thick,6" long, with a 5/8" slotted head. thanks
