60 yr old= Cast iron soilpipe, I`ll bet.........and sometimes the "bore" can vary with each type Can you measure Internal Dia. and ext. Dia. of pipe that goes to WC.?

Outside on your cast stack ( if it is cast) your toilet will be connected in to a `tee` piece. Where it joins, you will see a collar where your pipe is inserted. You can gently tap around this collar & break your cast toilet pipe connection, then Presto! you can fit your pan connector to a piece of new plastic soil pipe & in turn into the cast collar. Making sure of course that you seal it with copious amounts of a suitable sealant.
Sadly this is the Cowboy`s way of doing it & it will eventually leak You are probably in dire need of a new stack anyway. Buy one, they`re only cheap & you`ll probably get it fitted for about 80 quid.

yes the old connection was removed it is no good now.it was a connection then a small piece of waste pipe over the connection then it was inserted into soil pipe and sealed with something i dont know what though
