* Vehicle Variations: There are multiple engine options for the 1999 E150. The alternator mounting and bolt sizes can vary based on the specific engine.
* Manufacturer Specificity: Bolt sizes are determined by the manufacturer, and they can change from model year to model year.

How to Find the Correct Bolt Size:
1. Consult Your Owner's Manual: This is the best source for information specific to your vehicle.
2. Check the Alternator Itself: The alternator may have markings or numbers stamped on it that can help identify the bolt size.
3. Look Up Your Vehicle's Specifications: You can find online resources (like automotive parts websites) that list specific parts and their dimensions based on your E150's VIN (Vehicle Identification Number).
4. Visit a Mechanic or Parts Store: A mechanic or parts store specialist can help you identify the correct bolts based on your vehicle's information.
Important: Always use the correct bolt size and thread pitch to ensure proper installation and safe operation of your alternator.
