I have a 1.8l 16v ac compressor mount ready to install. Unfortunately I don't have all the necessary bolts. I am surely missing the top bolt that goes in behind the timing belt cover. Then I need a couple new bolts to fasten the water pump to the block. People have said the mount is really a two piece mount? I seem to have all the necessary parts, but I don't understand about it being two parts. Can someone explain? I may need to get some more parts and am trying to save time. Too bad I can't view etka using windows xp.
