Hm. I've put a 12V starter in one of our 1009's, and the bracket fit just as
it did on the defunct 24V one I'd removed. Sorry if this is absurdly
obvious, but the bracket attaches to the top bolt at the radiator-end of the
starter (5/16 head, or 9/32 as I recall), and the topmost portion of the
bracket attaches via a bolt which threads into a corresponding hole in the
block casting.
>From what I remember, the topmost starter bold is actually a combination
bolt-stud - the bracket fitting over the stud part and then bolted down with
a washer and nut. What tends to happen is that the stud part shears off,
and someone stuffs in a standard bolt without the stud part from some other
scrap GM starter. Had one like that myself.
That's probably not too helpful, but there you go.
