Ac compressor bolt

I went and fired up my ac today for the first time, and guess what no ac.

So I crawl under the truck to check the compressor out, and guess what I find?

The stupid face of the compressor had came loose and was sitting between my frame and the steering rack.

Just glad it didn't fall off the truck, now I need to put it back on, but I have no idea what size bolt.

Does anybody have a spare compressor or know the size and length of the bolt?

Don't forget to set the clutch gap. It has to be shimmed to the proper clearance or the clutch will burn up if it drags.

How do I go about setting the gap?
And what should the gap be set at?

There was a washer in the splined hole, is that the shim?
It's tight enough at the
Moment hopefully it won't fall off till I can get some lock tight after it.
