for tank to bowl assembly, I find it best to buy two sets of bolts/washers/nuts....
and assemble like this.....
-bolt-
flat washer
rubber washer
-tank-
rubber washer
nut........and tighten down....
never hurts to add a small bead of sealant to both sides
then place tank onto bowl....
rubber washer
flat washer
wing nut.....and snug down
this has proven best to eliminate any leaks between the tank and bowl...do it right once, and done!.....
