I total agree with your statement regarding the appearance of the bolts. I purchased these bolts prior to removing the trans and did not have mine to reference. I was assured they were the correct bolts when I ordered them. VERY frustrated. I attempted to order everything in advance so the car would be down the least amount of time. Now I'm stuck trying to figure out these bolts. I was hoping someone here had experience with this issue.
As far as checking with my local dealer, I will not be going back there unless absolutely necessary. I went there in person to order these bolts. I was in my military uniform. I was literally ignored and pushed to the side when a glitzy Barbie doll chick wanted to purchase a rhinestone key ring for her new MB. When the parts guy finally got around to helping me, he totally treated me like a second-class citizen and even rolled his eyes when he had to look up the parts.
I would sincerely appreciate a recommendation to a good internet source of MB parts.
Thanks,
Jeffrey
