Cool. Thank you. I had no luck finding the part number.
I rode my bike over to Atomic today (I'm in Portland, OR). Alas, no 9000's currently being taken apart, and no one ever thought to save one of those.
In the end I got it together with only a filed-down washer and a scrounged m6 nut to replace the missing eccentric-nut on one of the front ones where you can get to the bottom side.
This started last weekend when I decided the weather was nice enough to do the custom Hella Micro DE fog lamp install I had been contemplating (they're mounted inside chopped OEM fog units). We'll they're done, and look great but need aiming.
I decided to pull the wheel and fender liner to do the pulleys since it was near time. Then I decided since it was already apart, I should pull the quarter panel and pound out the dent that's been in it since I bought the car. Hence this cage nut situation. So the body is back together, looks good. Not new, but good.
Then I get back to the serpentine... Looks like I'm doing the water pump today too.
