ok im going to intall p/s and a/c in my 87 gxl n/a. i know how to do it (thank you forums) but i have neither the nuts or bolts. the compressor is stock.all i need are the sizes and how many i would ask my mechanic but hes in tex and its getting hot as hell it being puerto rico and all.

 

Look at how many mounting bolts you need by examining all the components.... Then go to the local hardware store (Ace Hardware here) that specializes in only nuts and bolts and try out what you need. Of course they will be metric and usually a pitch of 1.25 but varies. The length is what you will need to determine. Thats all you will need...

The FSM shows some bolts, but may not show all of them. Take a look there. It will not show thread pitches or length of bolts though

 

if u're talking the compressor there is 4.

size I dont know, all I know is Mazda still sells them.

you can find every bolt in the parts FSM.

 

well the bolts for the p/s mounts is about an inch in depth and use a 5/8 cup now alls i need is the compressor to p/s mount. now how i found out this info is by going through all the nuts and bolts i had laying around from my old cars but none of the log *** bolts i have(or the shorter ones) fit the compressor mount holes. i could go to a store and sift threw a thousand bolts but i dont have the time for that i went to mazda they said they could only sell me the compressor with the bolts. i asked if they could at least tell me the sizes but no dice. i guess in the states mazda parts department take their jobs aalot more seriousely and dont try to screw people over. oh well back to the drawing board.

 

damn that blows man. Well if i remember correctly i believe they are these odd ball allen head bolts that are a pain to take off. try ordering from a US company that ships overseas. Shouldnt really be a problem. Let me know how you do with the ps cuz i wanna do that to my turboII as well

 

power steering was a sinch screwed in all the lines flushed it out (took a bottle of p/s oil and ran it threw a couple times) filled her up put in the belt adjusted the pulley and a 26 year old p/s still worked. it was crazy it moaned a bit at the beginning but thats gone now. since im off tomorrow its off to the hardware store. wish me luck

 

ok i now know that the compressor is a sd708 sanden i contacted the company some hindu dude picked up i asked for the bolts aaaand pfft nothing im getting frustrated and i have to wait till friday for my mechanic to get here oh well i didnt have air the whole time so i guess i can wait another week. now i will say this anyone without p/s in their fc is missing out.
