Need a bolt.

[British Slave]

While cleaning up some minor issues on my engine, I discovered a bolt broken on the AC support bracket. This bolt goes thru the compressor and screws into the front part of the bracket, and the head of the bolt has female threads tapped into it. At some point the bolt that screws into the head and is one of the belt adjustment bolts was broken off. After removing the bolt, I found an easy out broken off in the bolt. Does anyone of you guys that has removed your AC have one of these bolts you would sell? I would do a junk yard, but the closet is 70 miles away.

Thanks! I'll get a pic when the rain lets up a little. We are grtting an early Christmas present, it's raining in South Texas!!!!

Here it is:

It measures 3.75" from the washer to the end of the bolt
Overall length is 4.25"
The male thread is 11mm X 1.50
I belive the female thread in the end is also 11mm X 1.50

The "washer" is made on the bolt, and the head of the bolt is tapped to be a nut.

If you have both the long bolt and the one that screws into the end, I would be happy to buy them.
Thanks!

gunna search the garage

but what year is this off of? It doesn't sound familiar but then again I haven't taken any bolts out of AC compressors, just brackets off the engine etc. My closest junkyard is 4 miles from me, next is about 30 miles, then 40. Of course the furthest one is best since it's in the getto next to a seaport.

humor me and take a pic of where it came from too. I wont be the only one looking for you, it should help for anyone else too.

It's off an 87 with 350. This bolt goes thru the compressor and screws into the front mounting bracket. The female end of the bolt is where the rear adjusting bolt goes thru the rear bracket.

I would take a pic of it on the engine, but all the parts are on the bench. The rear bracket has to come off (bolted to exhaust manifold) to be able to get the long bolt out of the compressor. I really appreciate the effort to find one.

PS> mine is off an '85, hope the brackets are the same
