Using the correct diameter mounting bolt ensures the 12 volt alternator is firmly fixed without wobble, preventing misalignment and excessive belt wear. This proper installation leads to a longer lifespan and more reliable performance of the alternator. The alternator is designed to be mounted with a 10mm or 3/8" bolt. If you need to use an 8mm or 5/16" bolt then install the bushings that are included with the alternator, which reduce the effective hole diameter down to match the size of the bolt,
