I have an old two-piece Briggs toilet (the 3.5 or 5 gallon flush model - I'm not sure which) installed in 1990.
I noticed this morning that the tank rocks a little on the bowl. I reached under and was able to turn one of the tank mounting bolt/nuts a turn by hand. This movement started a leak at one of the tank mounting bolts.
I am planning to stop at HD on the way home tonight.
So my question is, is there anything specific I should look for at HD regarding a repair kit?
Is it somewhat universal - or should I disassemble first and take the seals/parts with me to match up?
I assume I will want the large gasket for tank to bowl (which is not leaking), and the two smaller seals (with the bolts, washers, nuts) for the tank mounting.
