Need new, shorter, starter bolts

Got a new starter for my 84 Berlinetta, but the old bolts are about a quarter of an inch too long. Does anyone know of a good bolt kit that'll fit my new starter?

Re: Need new, shorter, starter bolts

I'm gonna "assume" (having relatives out in CO that I see from time to time) that you have AutoZone, PepBoys, Advance, O'Reilley's, NAPA, etc. out there.

All of those have the Dorman HELP! product line hanging on cards in an aisle, including about every starter bolt setup there is, for every kind of car that needs special starter bolts. Have you actually gone to some one (or more) or another of those, with your old bolts to compare to, and LOOOOOOOOKKKKED AT the ones hanging there????

If not, try that. Sorry, I'm stuuuuupid and llllllaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazzzzzzzzzzzzy, so I ALWAYS cut the corners, butt in this case, it's altogether too simple, too eeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzzy, too obvious. Butt sometimes ya just gotta get down off yer high Interwebz horse and just go physically LLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOKKKKKKKK AT the parts with a real (not virtual, not online, not forum, not AI) EYEBALL. At times there's just no substitute for LLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOKKKKKKKKKKING at stuff. Not everything can be spoon-fed upon demand.
