Installing a toilet riser in a 1990 Lance 980

I want to install Thetford toilet riser in my 980 but the flange is to close to the shower. I am thinking about cutting about 2" off one side of the riser.I'm afraid it may weaken it,if anybody has done that let me know if it worked all right.
Thanks

Thanks Old-Biscuit. I think that maybe I could add some wood reinforcement,that should make it stronger than new. I hope I can turn the flange a little bit that should make everything fit better.

That Thetford Riser is NOT solid...it is webbed underneath

Cutting 2" off might/might not weaken it.

IF center ring was left intact it would still be able to spread the load

At $35 cheaper then new high profile toilet





Or build a custom riser box......and use a flange extension thru top of custom box

Is it time for your medication or mine?
