Starter doesn't have bracket mounting stud

[alburms311]

As the title states, my starter doesn't have a stud on it to mount the bracket to. It's a direct drive. Any clue as to why, and does that top bolt that is there just unscrew and allow the mounting stud to be put in its place? Any leads on a mounting stud? My searches for all these questions didn't turn up much info, other than some folks have come across this issue as well with their starters.

The bolt is referred to as a "thru bolt with extension".

You should be able to get one at a rebuilder or from www.aspwholesale.com

This may be the one. I would call and verify. You need one for a Delco 27MT

Your awesome Warthog! I had no idea it would be that long. Maybe I can put in in without dropping the starter, I'll know sometime next weekI will call before ordering.

I used a bolt and nut from lowes.

You have to lower the starter to replace it.

I posted about that particular stud once, with the part number. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showth...-bolt&p=1349266&highlight=1975326#post1349266

Next time when you search before posting, maybe try looking up the part number in the parts TM, then search the site for the number.

And that(4 minutes) was how long it takes to look it up.

And here are the search results for that particular bolt part number, on SS.

I hope that 4 minutes was worth it for you....Thanks for the information doghead, but a sarcastic reply after I already have an answer that I could not find, after searching the site unsuccessfully and the TMs(Item #s 35 and 36 looked to be the same as I have now), serves no purpose but to stroke your own ego (at 0529) in my opinion and is uncalled for, whether it be from a mod or not....It is known and apparent that you are an overflowing basket of knowledge here on this site, and I respect that, I don't however respect the manner in which you deliver it from time to time...Do unto others you know....

Sorry you read it like that.

Sarcasm was not my intention(not even a little bit).

I merely wanted to share how I did it and how easy it can be.

Obviously, familiarity with the TMs helps me, but everyone here should have the TMs saved on their own computer(for their vehicles) and gain proficiency using them.

My point was to teach/share how I did it.

Too bad you misunderstood me.

Too bad indeed I suppose....either way the part has been ordered and will be installed in due time. Thanks for the help guys.
