I was cleaning up the engine bay and noted a couple of minor things that I need to address.
I noted that none of the three long bolts that hold the AC Compressor in place have the nuts installed. All three can be pulled out which I assume is not normal since all three are threaded. Can anyone confirm if the M8 lock nut is the correct nut for these? Also are these torqued down or just snugged down?
I also noted a rubber bushing between the air filter housing and aluminum cas engine which was sheared in half. Is this the throttle housing mount?

The bolts have special (thick) square nut. Part number 964 126 311 00. There are four nuts on PET
As for the rubber bushing, there is one on each end of the air box. Part number 930 110 579 01
John thank you very much for this, greatly appreciated! I'll get everything ordered up today. Pelican must love me, I've been making weekly orders for small parts as I work through the restoration. Knock on wood the big stuff is all in great condition and working properly!

Here are the fasteners for the AC bracket, before I had them replated. Those square nuts are $6.44 from Sunset. 964 126 311 00
Also, be certain you have the brace that runs from the compressor to the area right by the breather housing. It looks like this.
Without that brace, the engine/compressor combination reportedly hits certain harmonics that will shake the compressor significantly and it doesn't end well.
Robert thanks for the tip regarding Sunset, I haven't ordered the parts yet so I will definitely give them a shot and I have bought from them in the past for my Spyder.
I also looked at the compressor again this evening and the brace is securely installed. Ironically the bolt that holds the brace to the compressor is the only one that seems to fully secure (fortunately).
Do I need to use loctite on the square nuts to keep them from falling off again?
