Kevin: Before purchasing the new head, I measured and measured the available space. I made the purchase of the larger bowl when I was satisfied it would fit. Out of the box, the head had it pump on the right side facing the head, same as the head I was removing. I got the new one screwed to the base and plumbed. Only then when I put the toilet seat on did I find out that the angled side wall prevented the seat from raising. After worrying what to do with the new head, I had the idea to switch the pump to the other side, an easy chore. Luckily it all fit. The moral is to see how it fits, seat included, before you start drilling.
