Hi Friends, All systems operational, except for the toilet. I only tried once, a while back, and it seemed to work fine, but now that I am trying to use it regularly I notice a couple issues: one, the feed fixture keeps dribbling even after the float has floated; and two, the plug is not working great, it keeps leaking water into the bowl. I think I can fix these things, I know I can get a kit repair, but all of them feed water from the bottom of the tank, this 66' toilet takes water in from the side, all connected with the fill and float kit: twonsend tank by Tom Myers, on Flickr I believe the toilet is repairable so I would rather do that, but I guess I can go with a whole new toilet if I have to. Problem is, I cannot find a kit like mine, where the feed is from the side. Does anyone know of kit replacement for my vintage setup? If not, I could try to get a kit that fills from the bottom and drill a whole in the bottom of the tank, it is plastic, and maybe I could find a kit that fits but fills from the bottom. I do have a black tank because the waste does go into a container and their is a valve on the outside that I can keep closed until, at least the way I understand it, I would eventually open and flush when the black tank was full. I have read as many posts I could find, but could not find one on replacing a tank kit so not sure the path forward, find a kit like mine, retrofit for a bottom water feed kit, or move to a whole new toilet. Any suggestions much appreciated. Thanks!

I think you will have to fix it as you like, a kit is likely not available. Be careful trying to drill a hole in the old tank; it's likely to crack. I'm wondering if tape would help?
