Re: starter mounting bolt

The stripped hole was about 10mm. I used a 7/16 tap (which is about 11mm) and used a bolt rather than a stud.
I guess a stud was used to make it easier to install the starter. That way you can rest the starter on the stud while threading into the top hole, then tighten a nut on the bottom stud. Anyway, it was a tight squeeze but all is done.
