Help, NEED an Alternator bolt!
While driving along yesterday, i heard a loud smack and then noticed my red battery light had come one and my volt meter was down to about 10.5 usually sits right at 12 all day long. well i made it to where i was going, checked under the hood and low and behold, my alternator belt was gone, well i picked up a new one on my way home and got everything prepared to replace it. when i was taking my alternator out i noticed that it was loose and came right out after loosening the top adjustment bolt. come to find out the bottom 3-1/2" to 3-3/4" mounting bolt is gone, just not there at all... I went down to autzone and they had these generic alternator bolts but they were 5" and a 5/16" thread which was just a little too big. anybody know what size i need exactly and where i can find one? Thanks all help is welcomed and needed!

Who but a dedicated cabby nut would go out to his un-heated garage a 3:48 am in 19 degree weather and say to you 6mm.
