Close coupled toilet drip

[davelarking]

Hi all, I have a small problem I would love some help with if possible? :


I changed the siphon diaphragm today on my close coupled toilet. All was good apart from now, when I flush it, small drips come from the wing nuts where the cistern meets the pan.

Is there anything I can do to stop this please?

Any help much appreciated

give us some pics of old do-nut washer.
do you know make of the wc ?

there are loads of different types of washer some being foam/rubber etc
all different sizes/thicknesses etc.
most of the sheds only do about 3 different sorts.
