Starter support bracket

[2deuce]

Is this a mlitary part or something modified. I see them mentioned alot here and my starter broke one of its bolts off recently. Where is the best place to get them?

Thanks,
Greg

It's a standard Chevy part that often gets pitched over a novice mechanic's shoulder as it seems pointless, and other starters don't have them.... All the 6.2/6.5 engines used them. Dealers dont' stock them any more, but can get them. Wrecking yards have them. The fella that I take starters and alternators to keeps one on the shelf. It's just a little tiny stamled steel thing that goes from the front end of the starter up to the side of the block.

you can get them from Checker auto parts or any other place that sells "motormite" help products

A must with non gear reduction starters. Nice for gear reduction to but not required. it is a different part for the gear reduction, and I have never found a source for these. Have converted my 12 vs to gear reduction and they last ok without the part.

Also replace starter bolts,, They often get over torqued when too tight and bent if torqued too loose. The book says to feplace them with new starter.

just tell them you need the bracket for a 1985 chevy K30 with the 6.2L, its a civilian part. the chevy dealer can look it up for you.

anyone know the part number for the bolt that holds it to the block, or do you know the measurements for the bolt?
