Measure the bowl length from the center of the mounting holes to the front edge of the bowl

Measure the bowl width at the widest point

Check the shape of the bowl: round or elongated

Measure the distance between the mounting holes and the back of the tank if clearance is tight

Note whether the seat uses top-mount or bottom-mount hardware
