I was able to straighten the hold-down bracket a bit to where I was satisfied it would work better, but running into a new issue.
The new seal (which may not be from Thetford) seems too thick! One of the RV shops I called said their tech would get in touch with me. He sent me pictures of the donut he had in his truck. On this forum I've read that most aftermarket donuts are pretty much the same so I met him and exchanged a $10 bill for the part.
After much pushing, with my wife sitting on the seat, I was able to lock the retainers in place, but when she stands up, the toilet raises and rocks on the donut. In the photos, the old seal is on the left and the new one on the right.
It might be worth it to go to the RV store 30 miles away to get the Thetford part! But it probably won't happen until we get back from Philly next week. What's your experience with the thickness of this seal?
