Emergency! Stuck in Montana!

[BusBerd]

Quick question:
What is the size dimensions of the nut on the end of the bolt that holds the alternator on?? It's the bolt on the bottom. The nut fell off and now the alternator is not charging the battery properly.
I'm on a road trip with my 7 yr old son and 10 yr old dog! Don't have much time!
A million thanks!

Sorry to hear this happened but at least the bolt is still there

You need to a 8mm nut thread pitch 1.25 most any hardware will stock it as it's a very common nut. 8x1.25
