Default lost my bolts?? no

after having problems with the starter motor i decided to have it refurbished, turns out it needed bushes, clutch and some plastic thing with cogs?? looks like it was caucght just in time before winter
not being mechanically minded it took forever to take off, the top bolt is in a losuy place couldnt get a spanner in properly and the bottom bolt i had to use and elbow joint on the wrench but it came off eventually!!

having got it home i set about fitting it and thats when the panic set in, wheres the top bolt??? searched everywhere and couldnt find it nipped off to scrappy and got a few that i thought would fit and set about fitting the starter motor but for the life of me i couldnt get the top bolt in. yep thats right when i removed the starter id left the top bolt in place as it wouldnt come out fully with the starter in the car so for easiness id left it its not a big job but to me it was!! and the satifaction of saving a few £££s has helped
