HELP!!! Bolt holding alternator bracket missing!!!

[PP200t]

As above, HELP please!!
what size is it?

 

[Fred@BTM]

which bolt? there's quite a few!

 

[PP200t]

Sorry Fred. It's the bolt that holds the 'steady bar' between the alternator bracket and the front of the block to the block.

 

[Fred@BTM]

the one that goes into the block?

 

[PP200t]

Yeah into the front of the engine

 

[PP200t]

Also it is 'dangerous' to drive without the bolt in until I get one? I've driven for a while it seems already.

 

[Fred@BTM]

na it's not dangerous, not ideal though, i "think" its just M12 (but its quite short)

 

[PP200t]

Thank you Fred. I'm going to see if anyone local breaking one has one, saves trying to guess what length it is and get it wrong.

 

[Fred@BTM]

i'll measure one tomorrow for you

 

[PP200t]

That's brilliant, thank you.
