Ok I am in need of a specific bolt for my jeep so I can get it back on the road. I need the bolt that mounts to the top of the starter. The way it mounts is from the back side of the bell housing into the starter bracket itself. Some how mine fell out. I have a 91 XJ so I either need to know the proper bolt size or msybe someone has one they'd sell me? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I gotta get this thing back on the road.

 

About to head over to my brothers. I'll see if there is still one in the engine he pulled out of the Bare Necessity build. Let ya know soon.

 

its a 14 or 15 mm bolt it's an 1" 1/2 long and course thread i had to put a rear main seal in mine so its pretty fresh to me

 

that my be the socket size but no way the bolt size

 

I was gonna say that can't be the bolt size..

 

Thanks bud. I know that the 91-93's bolt up the same but after that I am not real sure.

 

hang on i will go out and get the bolt and get the measure what it is

 

Well bare Necessity is a 89 so if is there I will check it against my 91.

 

87 to 90 then its 91 to 96 I think.

 

If it's not the same, I can get one from the jy in the next day or so.

 

the lentgh of the bolt is 1" the diameter of the threads is 1/4" fine thread

 

If I can't find one then I am going to drill out the bracket hole on the starter and just run a bolt and nut setup. Better then the jeep sitting where I can't drive it. Darn thing was down during our blizzard on xmas eve which sucked cause I couldn't play.

 

if i was in your place i would pull the starter off take it to the hardware store and find a bolt thats maybe 30 cents

 

well its metric so go to the hardware store and get a 6,8,10 mm bolt 1in long and you should have it maybe 4 bucks

or if you have some time I can pull mine and measure i just can do it tonight

 

I won't be doing anything till this weekend. I just know after this weekend may not have nice enough weather to do it.
