993 engine A/C line hold downs
 

Just checked my A/C lines as they cross the alternator and the little block that goes right over the alternator is not attached to
the alternator housing. Seems like there is a threaded hole in the housing, should there be a bolt there?
Here's a photo with a crude arrow pointing to the spot where I think it should go...

In that threaded hole goes a bolt with a 8mm head with the threaded part being 35mm long. An appropriately sized flat washer goes under the bolt.

Great, the 35mm length is what I needed. I think I measured
the thread size to be under 6mm which seems odd. Porsche rarely uses 5mm but I'll check again.
Thanks
Bruce

It is 5mm with the thread pitch being .8mm

Ron, thanks again. Now I've just got to convince my local Porsche parts dealer I'm not crazy. He thinks Porsche does not
use 5mm bolts anymore. I'm going to look at other sources first and then go back to him If I can't find one locally.
