I am looking for the bolt and nut (weird looking) that attatches the alternator at the pivot point on the alternator bracket. Not the tensioner bolts and nuts. The guy I bought the car from didn't have any bolt or nut there and the alternator rattles around because its only held on by the tensioner. If someone could sell me their spare nut and bolt or point me in the right direction. I am not sure if a regular nut will work since the OEM one is shaped funny. If it will I can just hit the hardware store. Thank you.

If you have access to a DOHC engine, the hardware for the alternator is the same.

If not, hit the hardware store. Grab a bolt, some washers and a nut. Everything will work out fine.

The OEM funny looking nut thing is just to keep from having to use a wrench on the back side. When you loosen/tighten the bolt, the OEM funny looking nut thing jams up on the alternator bracket for easy wrenching.

Update. I went to the hardware store and got a 130mm long 10X1.5 bolt and a nut and it worked out fine. No need for the funny shaped nut, it easy to fit a wrench on the back of the alternator to tighten it up. Thank you.
