1967 starter solenoil heat shield bolt

[Timothy B.]

I just purchased a solenoid splash shield for my 67 and need to know what the correct screw that attaches the shield to the starter brace looks like. If someone can post a picture and dimentions I would appreciate it. Also, does the nut that holds the starter brace to the starter through bolt have a lock washer? Thanks

It is a self taping 1/4 -20 hex head with a flat end (not pointed). I used a lock nut on the stud.

Tim:

Pictures of the starter brace nut and the solenoid heat shield screw are on the Long Island Corvette Supply webpage: http://www.licorvette.com. Item numbers are #21-17 for the solenoid shield screw and #21-18B for the starter brace nut.

Thanks Larry and Ken, The hole in the brace and shield I have is smaller than 1/4" but if I understand you it's a hex head machine screw, correct?

It's a 10-24 hex head machine screw with an external tooth lockwasher on my '66. The starter brace has female threads, so the screw is not of the 'self tapping' variety.

Thanks Jeff, that sounds about right when looking at the size of the hole in the starter brace.
