The top takes a 7/16"-14 X 1 1/4" bolt.

The bottom takes a 7/16" stud/nut, the stud is 2" long with fine threads at one end and coarse on the other.

Joesixpack Thank you for the kind offer. The other day when i went to start it up, it would not start. I went to tap the starter and noticed it was very loose.This afternoon i plan to get under it and see what`s going on. I assume i lost a bolt or they are very loose. I`ll report back later . Thanks for all the help guys. Moparts is the best !!!!

Have seen the holes stripped/cracked before. You can over tighten these.

Thanks again guys . The bottom bolt had worked itself loose. It was a real pain to get to it, but i managed to tighten it up .
