Default Car won't fire up

Hi All

Took my Subaru Type R out yesterday, all going ok, running like a dream.

Stopped to take dogs for a walk, got back in car and it wouldn't start.

Turned the key and made a wirring clicking noise.

Bumped started fine though?

Any ideas? Starter motor?

Ok found the issue!

Starter motor was hanging off.

Seems I'd lost a bolt one side which put extra pressure on the other side and ended up cracking the casing and it just broke off.

So I need a starter motor and bolts.

Anyone know what bolts I need?
