I want to add these old style toilets to the 100 y.o. house I’m renovating, and want some info on the rough in, footprint, manufacturers, etc.
Anybody got any know-how on the subject??

Old toilets are pretty dirty. You should consider wearing rubber gloves while installing, and boiling your hands before you eat after installation.
Oh, and if you wipe your hands on your pants while installing, you might as well burn those pants. Matter of fact I would burn them anyway, your sister says you have no sense of fashion.
Did I miss anything, guys ?
*Try 'Sunrise Specialty' antique style plumbing.5540 Doyle Street Emeryvilee, CA 946081-800-444-4280.I think they may only be tubs and fittings but it's worth a try. Other wise follow the previous post
*The new Lowe's that just opened in town has them on a floor display. I've seen conversion kits in mag. ads. Don't think any of the local plumbing shops carry them. Jeff
*Is either of these like what you are talking about?http://www.plumbingsupply.com/toilethightank.htmlhttp://www.cheviotproducts.com/toilets/hightank.htmlI have seen these in hardware stores in the Walnut Creek, CA area. The ones I saw looked like they just separated a regular tank from the toilet, supplied a piece of brass or chromed pipe to connect them, and then quadrupled the price, but maybe I missed something...
