Short starter bolt

[Lowell Fast]

Where does the short starter bolt go into the bell housing?

Make sure they are all the same length and cannot contact the flywheel when the starter is mounted.

When I removed the starter I did not notice one bolt was shorter than the other 2. Contact with flywheel IS my concern. I guess it will not hurt to cut off the longer ones to be safe.

Starter mounting bolts are 3/8-16 x 1 and should be grade 5. Here's the page from Bratton's that shows them:

Unless you want authentic bolts for a show car, you can get them from your local hardware store.

Don't forget the lock washers.

The 3 mounting bolts are 3/8 -16 x 1".

Guess I was looking them up while 29er was posting.

Thanks for the clarification. Will cut off the longer ones to 1". Got enough starter/bendix/flywheel problems without gambling at this point.
