If the tank to bowl bolts are needing to be replaced it may be time for a more efficient toilet.
After all the water saving design ideas were tried a refined and improved design maybe in order. This will replace the porcelain with a new slipperier inside finish that the crap doesn't stick to as much, maker is much less and easier cleaning.Most likely will save you water usage money also.
You must have corrosive water in the tank or corrosive cleaners have been used a lot, in which case it may be another indicator to spend a few hundred on a new finer pored porcelain model.

It's about time for me to replace the bolts holding the toilet tank to the bowl. This prompts me to ask which would be better brass/bronze or stainless?
Also, it seems one of the studs/anchors for the bowl to the floor has also snapped (I don't recollect any particularly violent/stressful session that may have caused this)
I was probably going to use a stainless replacement stud (probably change both sides while I am at it - famous last words) and epoxy anchor "grout."
Any advice/suggestions/cautions?
Thanks
