| Post subject: | Embarassing Starter Question ! |
I am trying to put the starter back on my truck and have lost the nut and bolt for the install. The engine is an 85 but I am using a starter from an 87 engine. It is a 1987 D-100 with the 3 spd/od. I need the size of the nut for the existing stud and the size for the bolt that will screw into the bell housing. I suspect the stud may be metric but not positive. I purchased the engine minus the starter. The original engine threw a rod so that is where the starter is coming from. Thanks for your help. |

Going off memory here since I'm in bed sick. But I believe the bolt and nut are bolt 7/16". Sorry can't remember if its UNC or UNF, but I'd guess UNC. As for the length of the bolt, I'm sure you can just use a tape measure and guess. Also, if you go a bit over I believe the bolt just comes out the back side of the bell housing. |

The starter stud is coarse thread into the bellhousing and fine on the starter side so you need a 7/16-NF nut. The 7/16" NC bolt is about 1 3/4" long. |

Thank you all for the response. This will help immensely. I am trying to put this truck back together but is a slow process. After I started the engine swap I had to move to a different shop. Things got mixed together if you know what I mean. I am trying to remember how to remount the shifter and the hydraulic clutch reservoir disintegrated. The truck sat outside in the North Carolina sun with out the hood on for a couple of years before we got it. Everything plastic just crumbled when you touched it. |
