Does anyone have a source for purchasing E-Torx fixings outside of the MB network?
They are quite expensive and my local dealer is a 25 mile round trip and they don't ship parts in the post.
Used by many (most?) car makers these days, why can't I find an abundance of places to buy from?
I did find this company but they only sell a relatively limited range (M10 max. and no Grade 8.8) plus they are located in the US so it seems crazy they are the only option I could find when we are talking about metric fixings.

Is there any reason why I couldn't use 10.9 in place of 8.8?
