yes which i agree.
but i was referring to you said you had leaks with the wing nuts fitted to the bracket.
how do you mean seco services?
you said -I have had toielts leaking from wing nut holes in cistern with brakcet as shown above -
and i said the ones with bracket the bolts don't go through the cistern as the bracket holds the bolts.

sorry mate I meant leaks through plate type - I usually wind ptfe around washers to prevent the dribble! I liked your idea of silicone through cistern type though. What do you do for leaks / dribbles through the plate/bracket type?
you had me confused then.
the plate you won't get leaks as you know the plate is secured by the flush valve nut and the bolts just hang on the plate then fit into the pan holes.

i know but sometimes you get a dribble through the wing holes especially if you overitghten the wing nuts! so a turn or 2 of ptfe helps!
so how are you getting a dribble on the wing nut if the wing bolt are secured on the external side of the cistern not through the cistern ?
cos sometimes a bit still gets through
then it can only becoming from the flush valve nut that holds the plate.
sorry mate no on mine i had a siphon and when flushed a few dribbles got out through wing nut holes !
siphon nut was tight
siphon nut was tight
right.
sure the do-nut wasn't letting by then dribbling down wingnut ?

looked ok and was a new one once (sponegey type)! so wrapoped ptfe around with silicone.
when you say once do you mean it dribbled after some time or after you had taken it apart and put it back ?
