working on starter for inline 6 59 apache, still has stomp foot solenoid. I have no manuals or pics, sorry. I am in need of original style bolt which goes through the arm which drops down into starter housing and activates the staring gear drive. Same arm that pushes against solenoid button. Does anyone know where to source one of these unique bolts? Any help greatly appreciated.
I believe that's a shoulder bolt. "Standard" size ones are available from places like McMaster Carr, if you can determine what the dimensions are. I'd be willing to remove the bolt from my starter to measure it for you if you need dimensions. [on edit] I pulled mine off and measured it. The shoulder is 1/2" nominal diameter, 1/4" from head to end of shoulder, and overall length of 1". The threads are 3/8"-18. Has a round head, but anything would work.
