Powersteering belt was squeeling on my 1984 volvo 242. Come to find out the bracket that the AC compressor attaches to is missing the 2 lower bolts. And that belt also runs the compressor. ANY idea what bolts I need to order find???

Thanks

There are M8 bolts making up the PS bracket arrangement and M10 bolts attaching the alloy AC bracket to the block. This business of the bolts falling out of the AC bracket must be commonplace.

I have come (to work on a car) after pros who put generic bolts to replace those and picked one just a bit too long, and lucky for me didn't try to crank it all the way in. Probe the depth of any blind holes before you choose the length of the replacement bolts where they are missing. Certainly you'd have to be more specific about which bolts to get a pick list to order on an 84 Volvo.
