    starter bolts

    I know this is stupid but I need a starter bolt. one of mine fell out and jacked my starter all up. I got a new starter but if anyone in the area has one in the area that would be awesome. otherwise ill try and match one up the best I can at a hardware store or something so I can get this thing in this weekend and back up and running.

    most places wont have TORX, which is what the factory used, but usually you can find the same grade hex cap screw. Just make sure its long enough!
    Funny story, i was coming back from LA, finished a 6 hour drive in my super eta, as soon as i pulled in the driveway i shut the car off. I went to start it up an hour later and all i heard was VRRRRRRRRRRRR!
    So i look and the damn starter is almost to the ground, the previous owner used a zip tie in lieu of one bolt and i can only imagine the only bolt in was hand tight LOL!
    Great thing about the torx design is that even though its not just a bolt like the m30 (better design), you can use a flat tip to counterhold the bolt as you tighten the nut.
