Volvo 145 S Estate Questions

Shibe · Jun 12th, 2017, 15:14

My friend and I are rebuilding an old Volvo 145 S Estate wagon. The previous owner kept the car in good shape, and gave us a lot of parts to use with the car. While we have been able to do most of the mechanical work, we cannot find bolts for the alternator, and we are also missing an alternator bracket. We haven't gone through all of the parts completely yet, so we will probably find the bracket. However, since we cannot find the bolts to add the alternator, we are kind of "stuck". Does anyone know the bolt size?

I forgot to add that we need the bolts that screw into the engine block.

They would be 3/8 " UNC or 5/16" UNC if before 1974 when they went metric , but the last year was 1973 for twin carbs so imperial UNC thread .
