Starter Bolts Backing Out?????
This is the second time this has happened. The bolts on the starter have backed all the way out. This time one stayed partially in and the second one is lost. Well needless to say one of the mounting brackets on the starter has broken off due to one of the bolts staying partially in. I found this out as I was attempting to start the truck this am and it wouldn't start. I'll probly have to rethread the bolt holes, any ideas what size they should be.
I know its early, but I'm stuck at home for now. Thanks FTE!!!!

Head size is 18MM, I don't know what thread size. Make sure to use red locktite and torque the bolts to 17-21 ftlb when you get them re-threaded. My starter bolts backed out a while back and to a few guys in the past, its not an epidemic but enough to consider locktite.
