What size bolts to mount starter?

[MoparMike1974]

I have a mini starter from Mancini. Its new but was purchased about 10 years ago. The bottom hole is the correct size and a 7/16 bolt fits through it right. The top hole measures almost 5/8". Has anyone run across this before and what is the best way to address it? I was thinking I could machine a special shoulder bolt or just turn a spacer to take up the slack.
Last question, does the stud go on the top or on the bottom?

The studs on top

As JBurch said, the top one is supposed to be a stud with different threads on each end.
I'll find a pic of one and post in a minute.

Well I don't see anywhere so far what the sizes and pitches are, but you can order this set from Manicini pretty cheap and be done with it.

I know for a fact I saw those sizes listed somewhere, but haven't found it yet.

Yes, I have the original stud but the hole in the starter is larger. It appears that the starter fits up in a register so the larger hole shouldn't matter. I might put a bushing on it anyways.

Some (like me) like the stud on top and the bolt in the bottom, but I think it actually goes the other way around.
You can also use bolts only in the 7 1/6 x 14 pitch 1.25-1.5 inches length.

Correct.
