Anyone have trouble finding correct length mini starter bolts?

Hey guys,

I purchased a power master mini starter. Summit offers 3 different bolt lengths. 3.700 in. - 4.330 in. - 4.450 in. 3.7 is to short. 4.330 is to long. Has anyone else ran into this issue? It's going on my Dart SHP block.


Thanks

I had a similar problem installing my Tuff Stuff starter on my stock block. IIRC, both supplied bolts had a length issue one way or the other. I think I ended up re-using one of the stock bolts, and a hardware store bolt for the other (not knurled )

Alot of the mini-starters don't have the "feature" for actual starter bolts; you just use regular ones.
