New toilet seat gap between bowl

    One of the toilet seats on out twyford toilets was extremely discolored (yellow !) so I decided to replace it today. I got one and it went on grand even if it feels as cheap as it was at 14.99 !
    However the "teeth" on it where it meets the bowl are much larger than the original one. This means there is a gap between the bowl and the seat. As it's the bathroom the kids use I'm worried about urine easily coming out through the gap when they go ! Also will it let out a constant smell from the toilet ( I'm assuming it's supposed to be flush with the bowl when it's down )

    No the original ones sit flush with the bowl
    The "teeth" are much smaller

    Well that looks like a gap to me, albeit smaller.

    Either way, neither will be odor nor liquid proof.
    Supper time, got to get nice thoughts in my head now. :D

    Id agree ,the gap is way too much,if your handy you could cut them down and grind,file them to a better dimension,or change to new seat
