Looking for Starter Bolts for 1963 Avanti

[Fourward]

Looking for 2 starter bolts for my 63 Avanti. The parts manual just says special bolts. Look long, 1/4 in diameter? and have a straight screwdriver head? I will buy them from you plus pay shipping. None on my car.

I assume you are looking for the two bolts that hold the starter onto the bellhousing?  Those bolts don't have a screw slot, they have a hex head (3/4 - 13/16").  They are rather large, closer to 1/2 inch in diameter.

In order to not have them your starter would have to not be on the engine.  Sorry, I don't have and loose starter bolts, just thought I would pass on some info.

Thanks for the description. No, my starter is not on the bell housing. I got the car in pieces, I am working on putting the engine together. Many bolts are missing.

You can take a measurement. Starter collar/flange + Bellhouse. 2 Bolt and nut. If bolts are little bit too long - does not matter.

I'm pretty sure he's asking for the through bolts from the end plate through the main armature housing into the nose piece.

No, starter bolts to bell housing. Perfect picture, thank you.

Where can you find these bolts.  Who has them.  Regards.

Phil Harris, Fairborn Studebaker has them. Bob Ziff, Avanti Parts, Morrisville PA may also have them.
