They sell very similar on merc ml's for the oil/water feed to head securing bolt,was about Ł0.80p from memory.
Looks about m6 x 30 to me?
They should be in stock if your stuck.they also do various lengths of those bolts for the airbox etc.
If you need a reg mines w501jrf merc ml 270cdi if your desperate like!!!
