Starter motor fell off!

Went out for a curry wed night and had been looking forward to it for weeks.

 

Made sure nothing would mess up the night and everything was set.

 

Went to start the Z at about 7.30 to leave and the starter motor grinds and drops onto the floor!

 

F&%K !

 

Ended up getting mate to pick me up!

 

Bolted starter back on the following morning and all is well, saved me some fuel I guess lol.

    Well the top bolt fell out and it was hanging off. I think there was an issue with the threads on the gearbox when the motor was fitted but I cant quite rememeber what. It bolted back up ok.
