Need a LCA eccentric pin/bolt. Anyone have one to sell?

Like the title says. I am rebuilding the front end of my '85 300d and I am about to the point of reassembly. The passenger side LCA was a little difficult to remove due to the nut of the eccentric bolt was rounded and beat to heck and back. I finally got it off of there, but the nut is in really bad shape and the washer is rounded as well. The bolt threads are all jacked up too. I am going on a trip in this car next weekend and I need a new bolt ASAP. I don't have the luxury of a PnP place with old mercedes cars. So here is my question.

Would someone be willing to sell me an eccentric bolt with the nut and washer and have it shipped in a way that I could get it at the most by wednesday? The one here on peachparts won't ship until 4-5 days and my other source won't ship for about 2 days and that's cutting it way too close as I will need to get an alignment and make sure evrything is good to go before the trip. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Maybe I should check with the local dealer first... I must have inhaled too many brake parts cleaner and rustoleum paint.

If the dealer doesn't come through how much would you let one go for?

Bummer. Dealer is a no go. They don't have them in stock and it will take a week to get it. Help me vstech-kenobi, you're my only hope. You can PM me if you wish.

Still need one. I'm going to call napa tomorrow. I saw they have them on their website, but they are in the warehouse and they are 70 stinking bucks, but I'm running out of time. I don't know how quickly they can get them from the warehouse. I still need to re assemble everything, get an alignment, and I wanted to drive it a day or 2 before the trip to make sure everything is good... I'm screwed. If anyone has any to sell please let me know. I'll have to get it overnighted probably at this point.

Ok. Thanks for doing this. Let me know as soon as you have a total and I will pay you within seconds of receiving it. I just hope it gets here in time. I have exhausted all of my options here. I made a few friends asking around for one of these bolts and talked old mercedes with people. I found a parts car through someone I met, but he will only sell the whole car. Heck, later on I might buy a few more of these off of you just so I'll never have to go through this again! The bolt being bad was the last thing on my mind and when I saw it was like....ooooohhhhh craaaaapppppp!!!!

Finally found one online that had it in stock and had overnight shipping available!! Vstech, thanks for the effort man, but I was in freak out mode and feel much better knowing one is on the way. Total price was 55 including overnight shipping. Not to shabby.
