Need help identifying bolt for W126 M110 Trans Cooler Lines - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

Hi all,

So long story short I am in the middle of putting a 1983 M110 W126 Kjet engine and trans into a (seized) W108. All is going well so far, however upon delivery two of the cooler lines bent and from what I can see on the trans there are some bolts that are supposed to go there? For the life of me I cannot find a resource or part for these, could someone kindly point me in the right direction.

And excuse the lack of full knowledge, I am by no means a mechanic..

Thanks in advance

The missing parts are called "banjo bolts"! At the ends of the cooler lines in your pictures are the "banjos". The banjo bolt is hollow, and has radial drillings that align with the cavity in the banjo. Also missing are copper washers (two per banjo) that form the seal between the bolt and banjo, and trans case.

Are you located in the US?

Perfect, thanks Frank! I shall search out some Banjo bolts and washers.

I am located in Australia FYI
