Hi Everybody,
I'm trying to find out (if I can explain this even moderately clearly) what size and thread count is the hole in the lower right side of my L134. I can't figure out what size bolt I need to use that hole. I've seen it used with a small bracket to support the rear end of the starter and as a connection point for the battery negative. If it ever had a bolt and bracket, they've been gone longer than I've been alive. I plan on bolting my batt neg to this so I'm sending the negative directly to the block. I've cleaned it out as much as I can with some brake Kleen and have used a long small bolt to find its about 1inch deep. I can turn by hand a 5/16" x 18 tap in there and it wiggles just barely, but a 5/16" bolt slides right in without threading. I'm assuming it's tapped for a 3/8 bolt but I can not get one to turn without a wrench and I'm NOT going to force the tap or bolt that I think is right and end up retapping or stripping the hole. I've found the hole in the parts list's engine mountings diagram but can't find a description of the bolt. I've tried 6 combinations and I don't want to force anything, but I'm frustrated as hell now. Hopefully that makes sense, anyone have an idea? Thanks |

The parts list says it is 3/8 16 1inch. Look in Electrical Starter Support.
