Toilet seat fixing?

Hi.

In the process of getting more info and pics, but does anyone recognise the type of lid hinge fixings here, please?

Is it simple nut on t'underneath? Ta.

    There's probably a plastic nut underneath. Possibly not a conventional hex nut, but a plastic sleeve with ribs for grip.

    as others have said

    get on your knees / look underneath and you will see a long thread with a white plastic wingnut on it/on both sides

    they are only hand tightened

    just undo both and it will lift off whole seat from the top

    Thanks folks. I was hoping it was that type.

    It ain't mine, and that's the only pic so far, so fingers crossed it's as you say.

    Cheers.
