Rochester Medical Spirit Male External - Style 2

I've been a para for 38yrs. The manufacture of this toilet seat went to extremes to lower cost. This toilet seat is REQUIRED for me live and I haven't found a substitute. They have made the metal in the mounting brackets thinner, changed the wood base to a very thin flexible synthetic base and the vinyl seat cover is thinner. I ordered multiple seats because they go on back-order for years at a time. For fear of the seat bending and falling off the toilet I'm having wooden bases made to put in-between the OEM seat and the brackets and have used Shoe-Goo to repair the damaged vinyl covers. I'm shocking disappointed in what's happened and can only reconcile it in my mind to extreme corporate greed. Very sad!!
