Closet bowl assembly to floor

[dugit]

Close coupled closet suite:
I am just about to assemble my closet bowl to a cement floor.
1) I find that the bowl does not fit flush to floor but you can rock it albeit a small amount (mm or so).
2) Also the bowl is at a very slight angle when I put a spirit level across it .
Any advice on how to deal with the above two problems would be much appreciated.

Small shims to level before fixing down and siliconing

cut some wedges from timber...of use those small window wedges ( should you have any to hand) cut off flush with base after fixing down

With the spirit level I have levelled up the closet bowl with cardboard and I find on one side I needed 5mm and at both ends required 2.5mm.
How wide should I make the wedge and do I need to space them round the bowl.
Is the silicone to hold the wedges in place ?

5mm is quite a lot. Consider bedding it on sand/cement. Or wedges out of say, 22-25mm timber. 25-30 mm gap between each. Silicone tidies up the gap. I got a bag of various plastic wedges of all thickness from local Alsfords..Timber merchant..under a tenner. useful for all sorts.
