Can anyone tell me the specifications of the two bolts plus the nut which holds the starter motor on aTEF please, and perhaps equally important where I might be able to buy them.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Mike

The 2 bolts are 7/16 UNC Grade 5, these have 3 lines on the bolt head, cant remember the exact length, think about 2"1/2 inches. The nut is 7/16 UNF. New bolts will have a smaller head then the old bolts. 11/16 bolt head is now 5/8. If you require bolts with the old size of head try some of the tractor breakers. The last bolts the I purchased came from a company call Spalding Fasteners www.spaldingfasteners.co.uk

Hello Sandy,
Thank you for your reply and the information I needed to order a new set of bolts.
I have now purchased and fitted a new set.
Can I just say how reassuring it is for a novice like me to have access to so much knowledge and experience.
