Just to let everyone know, the part I needed was an eyebolt (027-260-937)
and cost $18.36 plus tax at the local VW dealer. It's basically a bolt with
a large head with a tapped hole drilled across it. It took about 2 minutes
to install in the parking lot.

Thanks to all who offered advise and parts.

Subject: Air conditioning compressor adjusting bolt

I was cleaning the motor today and found that the belt tension adjustment
bolt for the compressor wasn't attached to anything, just hanging loosely in
the bracket. Does anyone have a spare or know can tell me how the adjustment
system looks so I can make one? I assume it would be an "L" bracket with a
nut welded on each flat. The holes would need to be offset to keep the
adjusting bolt from hitting the hold-down bolt on the rear of the bracket.
