It could be the bolt that passes through the bell housing and threads into the starter. Loss of the bolt might have been caused by the threads being stripped out in the starter which is probably made of aluminum or an alloy. I use Locktite on that bolt and try not to overtighten that one.

For missing car fasteners, I try to use a pick & pull salvage yard. We have several yards around here that let you in with your tools for $1 or $2 and you remove the parts you need and pay for them on the way out. Most of the time they never charge me for bolts, but I usually have a list of other items I need to make the trip worth while.
