I was loosening the screws on my 1984 300D to change the accessory belts and I accidentally removed the two bottom screws instead of just loosening them. I was loosening them from above and two washer-looking things about 3/4" and 1/2" thick and about a 1" diameter fell to the floor and I lost one of them. I'm assuming they are used to keep the compressor the correct distance from it's mounting point. I have two questions.

- Does anyone know where I can buy one of these? Is this something I could grab from an auto parts store?

- Can someone post a picture of the underside of their compressor with the correct configuration of mounting screws with these spacers so I know where on the screw they go?

Search for a post from YAK where he documented his new R4 compressor install. There's a pic there showing the spacers. I have an extra set of spacers I took off from my 240D parts car.

You can usually pick them up from a pull a parts if you have one nearby.

Installing a CompressorWorks R4 into a W123

Post #4 and item 16 in the thread. It's a poorly focused shot, but you'll see the selection of washers/spacers.

Also, if you haven't signed up for EPC online, I strongly recommends it. It'll have a blow-up of the bolts, the spacers, etc.

Also I pretty good shot of it in the FSM.
