Flywheel protection cover plate
« on: February 07, 2020, 16:46:30 »
I have just become aware that i am missing the flywheel protection cover plate (shown in the picture below). I have now ordered a replacement from SLS. However they do
not have the fixing bolts. MB have the smaller bolt and the washer for the larger bolt, however the large bolt is not available. The part no of
the larger bolt is N000933010111

Does any one know anywhere in Europe where i could find one. failing that does any one know the size and length of this bolt. i think one online
part site indicated a M10 x 12 but i would like clarification. The bolt in question is circled in the image below.

It is a standard M10x12 bolt. Steel grade 8.8, also very typical.

The number with N.... means it is standard (normal) item. Then you just have to decode the DIN number.

Find the shortest one you can and then cut a bit off if you have to.

Sourcing in Europe:
- DIY stores
- nearby mechanic - I am sure if you ask nicely they will help
- internet stores

Just google "screw M10x12".

If you cannot find exact length and you decide to cut it, put the nut on above the cutting place, so when you screw the nut out after cutting it will shape the thread. If it is a steel screw you may put some paint on the cut end to prevent rusting.

I would probably consider a stainless steel one, but that is only me.
