OT. Dodge caravan starter bolt size

Post by Bumpside Collector »

I lost one of the bolts out of my wife's van ans I'd like to get a replacement without pulling out the other bolt. Does anyone know the thread pitch and length of these bolts?

I ended up calling the dealer about this bolt and got the size from them.

It was a M10 x 1.5 x 53. I got a M10 x 1.5 x 50 and it worked just fine.

I got the bolt at a home improvement store. I guess I got lucky. A lot of the auto parts houses had some bolts but none of them were even close.
