## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this Astra toilet seat concealed fixing as is my existing (broken) seat on my 15 year old Profile Conceala  by Armitage Shanks?**
A: Hi, yes all fixings are concealed on the Astra toilet seat.

**Q: Armitage shanks genuine s405001 astra toilet seat and cover - will this fit an armitage shank cistern with reference as17561?**
A: I could not find the reference 17561 anywhere on my cistern, I decided on the seat according to the photos on the Web Site

A: The cover I have received is 470 X 390. Holes to take 10mm dia tube for hinge are 200mm apart. Plug type fixings into wc pan are variable from 145 to 180mm between holes.

**Q: I am looking for a replacement seat that is a light cream - i.e not white.  It may be called champagne.  What colour is the seat that is offered here?**
A: I have recently seen an online catalogue that included five or six colours, including Champagne, but never seen anything other than White for sale, and Ideal Standard themselves only list White, so I'd guess the colours are discontinued.
