So my new starter and voltaqe regulator came in the mail yesterday and went under my 1984 300D. The starter was missing the brace bracket and bolts and the alternator is missing the bottom mounting bolt. Any idea on how to replace these.

Im thinking im gonna need to find someone parting out to get the starter brace and bolts.

On the alternator bolt does anyone know what size, length, and thread i would need?

Im now positive that i got screwed on this car. It looks good, and once i get rid of these gremlins itll be all good.

My starter was missing the same bracket and ended up costing about $50 at the dealer. If I recall, the bottom alternator bolt is the same size as the top one, that holds the adjusting bracket.

I think the bottom bolt is different than the top.

I probably have one or two of those starter braces if you need one.
