Alternator tension thingy

Bit confused. replacing the alternator belt on the GTA and understood the tension was adjustable with this double threaded bolt.
But, on my car the bolt doesnt appear to connect to anything and hence I was wondering if perhaps something was missing?
Below is a (badly drawn) sketch. Can someone confirm that the double threaded bolt attaches to something ?

You really should have tried harder at play school with your crayons.

I think the bolt locates onto the end of the adjuster. Have a look in the parts manual, page 16.011 It looks like you have a part missing???

You're missing the main bit .Sliding block that the reverse thread drives in .

That is the mising part I refered to.....
parts manual say p/n is:
77 00 267 338 or 60 01 023 683 depending upon year.

Try Big_MVS, he is beaking a car at the moment.

I think I have a couple lying about .Will have a looksee if they're serviceable if you need one ?

Some people pay good money for abstract !

...and yes I definately am missing something.

Clee, yes I would be interested in one if you have a spare.

Lee, you could probably make one quickly.... if you have some LH threaded taps

Found a good-un ,complete assembly ,all moves freely as it should .£20 delivered ? Ya couldn't make it for that

Thanks Clee, please PM on how you would like paying.

Many thanks,
Paul
