s52 alternator bolt

[manuel325i]

Does anyone know the size or part number of the 2 bolts that hold the alternator in place? I am having a hard time to find the part. I know I can go to a hardware store and find the bolt but I still do not know how long it is or the thread pitch. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Also i dont think you're going to get the right bolts at a normal hardware store. Find a place that sells only metric bolts, nuts, washers, etc. Like 'Global Metrics' in Belmont. Im sure theres places closer to you in the east bay.

The one with the pulley was roughly 120mm long and I'm pretty sure they are 12x1.5 thread. The lower one was 90mm or so. I could be wrong.
