85 Nissan Pickup Alternator bolts missing-How do I replace them

Dude,

a friend helped fix my headgasket, but now I am trying to put the alternator back on and am looking for the right bolts. I need to know bolt dimensions. This is for a 1985 Nissan Pickup Z24, 2.4 L engine, KingCab. I re-attached the brace that goes above the alternator that has the slot in it to tighten the tension, but I only have 2 of the 3 bolts holding it in. The third isn't with it and I don't know its dimensions. The bolt I am missing is the one closest to the alternator. I also need the dimensions of the bolt that goes in that slot and holds the alternator in position. Does it have a nut? The last bolt dimension I need to know is for the bolt that is on the bottom of the alternator. Does it have a nut also? If I can't find these anywhere, where can I get substitutes? Can they be gotten at the hardware store or do they have to be ordered from Nissan for a fortune? If you can help me, it sure would make my day.
Thanks,
Rich

Hi david from perth here,  im a mech fitter by trade,  i dont know the actual dimensions for the bolt, but for starters it will be metric,  not imperial,  but it shouldnt be too hard to use a piece of wire perhaps to poke in and then  see how long the bolt needs to be, the only thing is it may have some dumb flats or odd shape  head on it, if u have an angle grinder u should be able to get it to fit . : -)  hope this gives ya some encouragement matey ,  all the best  dave.

I have an 84 Toyota celica gt 2.4 the alternator belt keeps breaking

Your bolt that you tighten to hold alternator is stripped,to fix is to get another bolt but longer with lock washer and nut to tighten down,that's what I use on my 85 nissan,they are so easy to over tighten and strip,it's common,lol.You can take bolt to Autozone and they will have what you need.It's easier to have someone help when putting on belt to get good tension,but don't over tighten cause the water pump uses the belt too.will be it and it will leak or bearing will go bad.

I have a draw on the battery on my 85 Toyota pickup it kills a fully charged battery in about 2 hours... Ive put a volt tester between the disconnected positive battery cable and the positive battery post...

Simple!
Try to disconect the battery terminal when the engine runs, if ur engine stop running, it means ur ALTERNATOR is dead!

The voltage output of the alternator should read at 12.5v to 13 volts!

Better go to a pro, to test ur alternator and battery!

How do I replace an alternator/fan belt on a 1984 Nissan datsun Pickup?

#1 loosen the Alternator drive Belt adjusting bolt, and remove the belt. Install new belt,tighten the adjusting bolt to give you the propper belt tention. At the longest span between two polleys at the midway point press down with your thumb and you should not be able to move the belt more than 1/4 of an inch. Good Luck and have a good XMASS.

Trying to get a alternator out of a 85 toyota truck sr-5 xtra cab

Oh, that is fun. It is easyest to drain the radiator and pull the lower radator hose. it is tight but it will come out. it beats pulling the distributor and power steering pump though. That is a tight fit. Good luck.
