Hello all, I recently purchased a S212 and there has clearly been some work done to it that was not listed in the CarFax. The front end has been repainted and there are some fasteners missing. Can anyone identify the PN for the bolts that are supposed to go in the locations indicated in the attached picture?
Where are you located?
Buying metric bolts in USA is not easy task, so if you are here, you can pay arm and leg at dealer, assuming you will find part person who will be wiling to track small bolts on computer, or buy universal bolts at Home Depot or Lowe's.
Back in California I had Industrial ACE hardware in the county, who would stock good selection as well.
What you need is body bolt, who is probably M6 or M8 and with big washer to cover the adjusting hole.
I'm located in Michigan. As annoying as it is to pay $3 for a single screw, I really don't mind if its the correct screw from the factory. There's only a couple of them.
Thus far my experience has been extremely negative with Mercedes dealerships so I'm really hoping to figure this out without having to talk to them.
Now comes my favorite automotive joke of last 20 years.
Each time I go to auto parts story and ask for "M8 x30mm bolt" I am getting
"What's your VIN?" in response.
It is for my wheelbarrow.
Just from the picture S posted, I can guess those are standard M6 bolts, where 1 is probably in 25 mm length, the other 35 mm. You can measure how long they need to be with slide caliper, or small scale.
Any better hardware story will have them and for the application mild steel is just fine.
The big washers are sold as "fender washers"
