who cares. it is irrelevant to the persons question.


OP, it bolts to the strut tower. there should be a bolt hole in the immediate proximity.

It bolts to the engine side on the Long bolt that is the TOP Starter bolt.
That bolt should actually hold a bracket(on the harness) to the engine.
It is kind of hard to bolt through and actually get the bracket and the Ground wire..SO just put the bolt through the bracket at the FRONT of the engine then through the starter top hole and then place the Negative cable's eyelet onto the bolt and then NUT it.That way the cable is actually at the back of the engine on the starter's face and it is Plain to see there.
The positive cable obviously goes to the 12mm nut on the starter,and then the 12volt Switched(one wire) gets connected to the solenoid.
