Help finding a part?

[olysan]

Hi all. I'm a newbie who's been lurking for a while. I'm swapping an ATK engine into a 2000 wrangler and I wasn't able to get the stud shown below out without damage so I need to replace it, but I can't find a part # or suitable replacement. This stud holds the dipstick bracket in place and also is a ground connection. It is 5/16 and screws into the block above and slightly aft of the dipstick tube. Can anyone help with a part number or recommended alternative? Thanks in advance.

I believe the p/n is 6035664. STUD, .312-18x1.560.

However, you may have a hard time finding one new. You may want to check a pick-n-pull or fashion one yourself out of all-thread and a couple of nuts.

According to the parts manual for my 2005:

27 6035 664 1 ER0 STUD, .312-18x1.560

This should be a good starting point for you.

As always, the sticky post on FSMs and parts lists is your friend.

Thanks guys! Very helpful information. As predicted, the original part is not available anywhere, so I'll be looking for alternatives.

Here's what I ended up doing. I used a Carb mounting stud because it is the right size and readily available. The only issue with it is there's a 1/4" shoulder in the middle where there's no threads. I used two washers and the flange from the dipstick tube to give it enough thickness so that I could tighten the nut. The electrical terminal will go where the red arrow is and I'm thinking I will use a washer and lock washer, so it will go: Dipstick Tube Flange - washer - washer - nut - ground connector - washer - lock washer - nut.
