Ok other day went out and car wouldn't start, never had any starter clicking prior so was kind of baffled... So had my daughter come out and crank the car as I tapped the starter, to my disbelief my starter was hanging by the wires and working... So figured lost a bolt holding it in... Nope bolt was still in place holding the broken piece of my starter still on the block... So really got into looking at where it mounts and noticed the top stud/bolt wasn't sticking out enough to even hold the starter in place... This is a replacement motor so figured the shop that swapped the motor used the wrong bolt since everywhere I read said it was a 15mm bolt to remove, nope it was a 18mm.... Now got a new starter but can't find a replacement bolt to reattach the starter.... Any ideas???

 

Here is a pic of the bolt I'm talking about, also thread pattern is too big for starter....

 

Go to a local pull-a-part and find yourself a neon to grab a bunch of bolts off of it.
