hey all.. 87 gl-10 A/t.. i just checked under the hood and the rear bolt that secures the A/C compressor and alternator bracket to the block is MISSING!

 

i am going in to work a busy friday night in hot south florida, if ANYONE can reply to this thread with specific bolt and thread dimensions i can stop at a store and buy a new one to put in, but i need this ASAP so my roomate can check the thread and update me.....

 

thanks in advance for the answer, im sure someone here can tell me...

 

peace,

RANDOM GUESS: 10mm x 1.25 pitch

pitch i am sure of...diameter not so much.

often you can pull one that's not quite as necessary from somewhere else and put it where you need it.

is it causing any issues?

I think Gary is right about the size.

 

I used to have the same problem with the same bolt (I even have the same car)

 

I found out that the bolt that was in there is just slightly too long and was bottoming out before it was truly tight. A small lock washer added to the equation and its been there for three years.. only coming out when I tell it to

I think gary's right also....I do know that it's a 14mm head. and only 1.5-2" long.

Should be as they say - 14mm head, and yes it needs a flat washer and a lock washer on it to prevent it from coming out.
