    Icon8 Starter Bolts

    I need some help guys before I push this car in the river. Where are both of the freaking starter bolts at
    My dad got one and now neither of us can find the other one. Can someone help me by giving me some detailed instructions or idk a picture? Imbso frustrated with this car. I just got my car out of the shop a little over 2 weeks ago because it needed a new radiator and now this.

    The starter bolts face towards each other. Did he find the bolt on the engine side or transmission side?

    The starter was a major pain in the ass. Look from the engine side and find the other.

    Could it be possible that the other bolt is actually a stud?

    I'm so frustrated. I've been working on this damn thing since Saturday.

    This is the best I can do with drawing on a picture. You will have one bolt entering each side of the bell housing like so.
