Title: Header nuts
Post by: curator on May 01, 2007, 07:07:13 PM
I got a chance to work on my 170DS this past weekend.   I replaced the steering box to column rubber interface, bought $32 worth of stainless metric bolts, etc...doesn't take long to add up.   Trying to replace with Stainless every chance possible.  Also removed the header  and replaced with my  new ceramic coated header pipe (done over the winter).   The studs came out but couldn't remove the casellated 13mm nuts.   I recall using brass or copper ones on my 300....does anyone have a source for these header pipe Nuts?

You can use 000 990 32 50 from your local MB dealer they will be 12mm instead of 13mm but will be copper and under 70 cents each.   old # (N 999901 008 005)
