I'm going to guess that bolt migrated in from above.
Build It was the Prospector's Idea

I'm wondering if it's from the bellhousing to engine. I need to do a thorough look see up top when it warms up a bit outside.
For what it's worth, the transmission to bell housing bolt I suspect is M13 x 1.5. I threaded an M12 x 1.5 in there and it was noticeably loose. I found an old parts manual on the Cruiser Cult site. Super helpful. Thanks @red66toy for hosting that resource. Putting the link here for future reference.

I called my local dealer and to my surprise, they were able to order two for me. 91111-51340. Let's hope I got the right one!

I think (and lets be real careful with that understanding) that the markings on the bolt you posted are for an SAE grade 5. That makes me think the bolt was floating around in the cab and migrated in from the top.

Open and shut.
Finally feel like my welder is earning its way. Poor two-piece driver's door was splitting in so many places. Ran about 30 inches of practice spot welds before I manned up and tacked the door.
Turned out pretty good. Even impressed the Prospector. He welds better than me, but is out working this summer. And I got tired of watching the cracks grow.

Did ya have any luck panning? My brother and I dabble but he said he didn’t think it was worth trying around here wrong kind of granite
lol. You shouldn’t tell me in a public forum if you did I realized that after I posted. My brother and I found a rock bird hunting that had silver and gold in it but I won’t say publicly where that was. And sorry don’t want hyjack the build thread

Yeah it's been crazy fun this year with him driving. He drove the LX when we were scouting/leading trails for Cruise Moab this Spring and did fantastic. He can spot a good line. And appreciates that the driving lines are different in the 40 vs 100. He finds amusement in taking lines that put the passenger side in the air or over a long line of rocks, just to rattle my kidneys.
