so I went to tighten my altenator belt the other day cause it was slipping. when I am about to tighten it I realize the bottom bolt that holds the altenator in place is gone. where can I find a new bolt? what places carry them? thanks for your help

Somewhere on there should have it.

 

either what fourthgen hatch said or you can do a junkyard run and you might get lucky

 

I'd get one from a junkyard. They usually give little crap like that away for free.

 

they sell those longer metric bolts at pepboys if u want an even simpler choice. same with starter bolts.

 

The alternator bolt has a square side on it that locks against the bracket so the bolt doesn't turn when you put on the nut, so a normal long bolt won't work really.

 

ehh... thats where i go for everything i need and if not than a u can surely find one at a specialty hardware store that has a wider range of metric nuts bolts, etc. u can also check newhere that sells vw parts they have alot of the same parts surprisingly, this was where i had to find my starter.
