does anyone know where i can a replacement alternator bolt? or if you happen to know the bolt size?

it the bolt that's used to tension the alternator. the one that points toward the front of the car (not the sidways ones that are tighten to lock the alt into place). it screws into 14799U.

I believe the number is 6503703, at least that is what I have in my parts files from my 2.4 build. M10x1.50x100.

You can just buy a long M10 bolt via McMaster though if your local dealer does not have one in stock.

Oh, and change your sig picture or resize it.

ah cool thanks. it's not some special size/threading then?
any idea how long it's supposed to be?


sry bout the sig. apparently the pic hosting site i was using did that.

I already gave you the fastener dimensions dude.

M10 Bolt = Metric 10. Thread pitch 1.50. Length 100MM. Find out how long 100MM is, & go get an M10 Bolt.

100MM is roughly 3 1/2- 4 inches.

Easy as pie.

lol sry i really suck at reading apparently

thank you!

Just a follow-up, I finally got around to replacing the bolt and the dimensions were completely different from those posted.

The size that worked for me was:

M8 1.25 80


not sure if it's a year/model difference or what. just a heads up for anyone in the future. best thing is to pull off the bolt that the tensioner bolt screws into and bring it with you to the hardware store (kind've a pita to get off). also 100mm was definitely too long. the end of the bolt was hitting the mounting bracket.

thanks anyways guys.
