Spotted a part I need on ebay.
073 33071 314, valve lock nut for $2.60 ea plus $8.95 for shipping. $11.55 for a nut ??? Sooo, I checked the price / shipping for 4 nuts. $10.40 for the nuts and .... $35.80 for shipping. $46.20 for 4 nuts ???? I msg'ed them and it was suggested I check their site which I did. The same $10.40 for the nuts and shipping dropped to $20.63 Just a bit of warning if you are planning on using The Grease Squad | Auto Parts Supersite

you'd better be getting a rather large box for all the shipping!

All those 4:am infomercials say basically the same thing
Call now and get one extra can of ______ absolutely FREE, Just pay additional S&H. (Like I have two boats with screen door for a bottom.   )Well, I didn't fall off the melon truck yesterday. There's no such thing as free. How much would that S&H be again?

Small items like that are good to order through the dealer as there is no shipping charges.

Id go to McMaster Carr but I dont know the size of the nut.
I msg'ed him back with their site and got this in return. Makes you wonder how many people they have screwed over the years with their BS freight charges. At least Dan seems to have a wee bit of interest in the issue. "I apologize for the issue. Everything is entered into our system automatically based on category. I believe that the nuts you’re looking for are falling into a category that is not giving a proper weight value which is why there’s such a big shipping cost. I have contacted my websites tech support and hopefully they will be able to figure out this issue. Thanks so much for your patience.

I felt pretty well boned when I paid 15 bucks plus a few for mailing when I bought a new plastic hood release thingy for the 240D. I had pulled a couple off old wrecks and they were so hardened they snapped in half. Finally bit the bullet.
Worse was a bolt set for the oil pan. Nearly a buck a bolt and there were 20 or so in the set. Maybe 18. I forget. Stunning never the less.

As it was pointed out to me, our 14mm wrench sized nuts are special made.
Standard metric nuts dont come with 14mm flats.
