Hi,

I believe These bolts are still available from at the MB-dealer. German price is a little more than 20€ per bolt.
I believe these are stretch bolts and preferably should not be reused, in case you were looking for used ones.

Stretch bolts have a measurable stretch limit. If they are within the limit they can be re-used.

Thanks Hans and Colin.
They seem to be available @ about 25€ here in South Africa. I’ll bite the bullet and order some locally.

Hey Chris, I believe I have these lying around (used), would be happy to send you a set gratis if I can find them tomorrow? If someone has the acceptable length I can check that.

Just located 6 but they are 40 not 20 mm in length. I may have also shorter ones but not sure.

20mm would be for a standard flywheel. 40 for auto?
