Could someone please send me a picture of the original toilet flange? I
have a 1974 Eleganza SE with a bad toilet. The only toilet I could get has
the mounting bolts at 90-270 & the original is right front-left rear. I
need to know if I'll need to turn the flange.

Don't have a picture but yes you will have to turn the toilet flange to the proper mounting location. I had to do this on an older motorhome when replacing toilet with new mode. Good luck, Glenn

Take a look at my blog. If you can get the screws out. Turning the flange with a homemade tool will be easy. On mine i had to destroy the flangr be ause heads of screws were rotted away.
From what i remember, The flange would be easy to replace with new if you have to deatroy it to get screws out.
Someone mentioned welding a nut to the screw head. I think you could have good luck with screws if you could use that method.
Blog address should be in my sig line. Lots of pictures.

Gene posted my install. There was nothing original about it, though.
Some PO had glued a residential flange in place. Getting that mess out
was an exercise involving lots of "residue-covered" plastic chips. I
installed an RV flange in these pics.
Just had it all apart the other day, in fact. Dang flange broke where
the inboard hold-down bolt is installed. Toilet was suddenly a little
tippy and I was sure I'd supported the floor and had everything sealed.
I just removed the flange, rotated it 90° and had two fresh mounting
holes to work with. We'll see how long that lasts this time. I don't
think I'd installed anything wrong - just a poor, weak design of the flange.
