air conditioning install
I have an '83 944 that I'm replacing the A/C compressor on.
I have a rebuilt compressor, but the DPO didn't use the correct hardware to install the old compressor. The front had just a nut and bolt (too small) holding it. I'm going to look for a new bolt locally, but even if I can't find that, the dealer has it for $3 or so.
The problem is the rear mount. The hole in the mount (not the compressor) is way to big. The hole is significantly larger than the bolt, so the compressor can move a fair amount. The dealer says that their isn't a bushing. Is that correct? Anyone have any good ideas for a solution?

My 86 had an M10x50 bolt in the front, and a smaller unknown bolt in the rear with a bushing/spacer in bracket that is attatched to the block. If my A/C delete bracket does not need this spacer you can prob have mine when it gets here tomorrow.
