I've never had any problems getting parts from my dealer... I just ordered the harmonic balancer bolt and spring washer from Mercedes Benz of El Dorado Hills. they had to order the parts, and Fed Ex still has my bolt even though the dealer said it would be here today.

I'm guessing that your dealer is being lazy. When I told my dealer I had bought a 1960 ponton the dealer told me he could order any parts I needed and told me about the classic center. I already knew about the classic center but I thought it was cool that the parts guy was interested in helping me restore the car.
