Mini Starter Bolts

Pretty sure a 1992 Dakota would have metric bolts, which began in the 1980's. They kept mixing in a few SAE bolts just to confuse people for some years. Ace Hardware should have what you need, and I would use a stud for one so you aren't cussing on the side of the road someday trying to align a starter. Don't you have little plastic drawers in your garage with all sizes? You can't be running to the hardware store for every little thing. I prefer the auto bolts w/ captive washers, and Ace has those in special bins (pricey). When riding my bicycle or on a walk, I stop when I see a nut or bolt and put in my pocket. At Pick N' Pull, every loose bolt I touch goes in my bucket, then into my drawers. You'd be amazed what bolts and special sockets I've found in parking lots and on the side of the road, especially when I lived near an industrial area in Atlanta.
