You can by one from a junkyard, someone on the list may have one for free, or try Potomac German, or one of the many vendors in the Star. A quick search for a crankshaft or engine block on car-part.com will give you a long list of junkyards that have the engine. Then you can call them and ask if they will sell you a crank bolt. As last resorts, you can contact a stealership or the classic center. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
