As part of a head gasket replacement job, I was removing the A/C compressor on my 87 Westy with 2.1 WBX and found that the tensioning bolt had been sitting alone. The receiving nut/bracket mounting is missing entirely. I imagine the part was shaped like a cylinder with threaded hole in the middle. I don't know how it kept tension on the A/C belt because A/C was working fine. Does anyone have this part? I am willing to pay for it. Or could someone take a picture of it so that I can try to fabricate one? J-W |
