Wheel bolts for CLK230K (2001)

[DJP1970]

Hi guys,

Wondering if anyone can help?

My CLK is in mint condition, apart from the grotty rusty wheel bolts that really let the car down!

Someone on ebay is flogging 16 x chrome alloy bolts for £33, which seems like a good deal to me.....however, before I go & buy a pack of 16 potentially useless bolts, does anyone know if they will fit?

They are 60 degree conical seat bolts, with a 26mm thread, claimed to be for C class, CLK and SLK!

Any help very much appreciated...alternative is taking one off car & measuring it!!??

Thanks

David

A piece of sandpaper and a tin of silver paint will bring your bolts up for less than a fiver....less hassle. Measure first, just to be safe and check whether they are 12mm or 14mm bolts.

Hi David,

I'd check those bolts if I were you - I'm pretty sure the bolts you need will have a radiused seat, not tapered/conical.

Wheel bolts for CLK 230K

Hi Ecossebev & Will,

Thanks for your comments....just checked & bolts are not conical & also measured the thread & they are 24mm, not 26mm! That could have made an interesting noise/vibration at best - damage at worst!?!?!?!

Hmm, I see a visit to the DIY centre for a can of hammerite - good call & avoided a bit of financial damage (the initial £30 odd quid), plus also some gouged disks or goodness knows what!!?!?!?!?

Thanks guys - yet another great help from MBClub UK members!

Cheers

David
