help with loose scre on 240sx

[jesusgonzalez7]

Hi, I recently bought a white 240sx, and i noticed it has a loose screw, I took it out because it wasn’t screwed to anything.

I think it has some kind of relation with the drive bands,

Here’s a picture, the red arrow points where the screw was.

Could you please tell me whas the function of this screw?What parts are apparently missing?AndI there any risk to drive it as it is?

Thanks for you’re help.

I got a lot of weird popups with that image link... you might want to find a different image server. I'm a big fan of google's picasaweb.

From what I could see before all of the popup windows and redirect, I think it might be the set screw for the idler pulley - but I'm not sure.

That looks like the P/S tenisioner bolt. When you loosen the nut on P/S pump the bolt will tighten the belt. It has fallen out.
