I would plumb that in solid with a straight pan connector.

Some accurate measuring it shouldn't be too difficult.

Looks almost like a second the way it tapers.

Sorry, but it looks like something which connects with a thunder bucket!
Designed at least to mate with a rigid in floor fitting, I would say, 2nd humble sorry.

I now realise why it was cheap :lol:

I'll try a straight pan connector and then put a elbow on that to point it in the right direction.

At least if I use rigid pipe I can brace it against the wall

I agree you will be doing the right thing as those tapered pan spigots are an :error:

in cheap manufacturing - flexible pan connectors never hold.

I sorted this today by buying a new toilet :lol:

The one I bought from ebay was only £29 including soft close seat- it will make a good plant pot :thumbright:

Flexi pushed on this one no problem at all. Good to have a flushing toilet again :lol:

Thanks for the replies, much appreciated :thumbright:
