Well got the bolts today, no thread lock on them so can anyone recommend which thread lock they have used on the same job?

Won't be able to get under the car untill Saturday morning

Elsawin instructions attached - doesn't make mention of threadlock, but something from the Loctite range intended for automotive use will be fine I'm sure

There should be something like this in your tool kit, though fairly common for them to get broken or lost, sure someone on here got a metal one as a replacement?

From memory Mercedes ones are metal and are available on ebay etc for buttons. I've never broken a plastic one so live with it!
