Ed,
Looked at the one of the spare seats and found that the previous owner had replaced the screw with a stud and it was epoxyed in place. The epoxy I'd figure because the seat was stripped out.
A thought occurred to me. If the seat was subject to this kind of wear / damage, then putting a stud in place of the bolt might not be a bad idea and instead of the shoulder that the one on the bolt provided for compresson of the rubber blocks along the underside of the seat, a narrow sleeve might accomplish the same result with the use of a washer and nyloc style nut.
The idea, save the seat from damage when the required services or cleaning would take place.
No epoxy of course...
Regards,
Rob
