Technical Rocker cover M6 bolts - pitch/length?

[spleenharvester]

Hi all,

Daft question, does anyone happen to know the specs of the flanged M6 bolts used to hold the cam/rocker cover on? Can't seem to find them anywhere.

Cheers

Sorry dont know the specs im afraid but might be a good idea if you have not got one already to purchase a tap and die set- useful for when like the rest of us you bugger something up!, but also the dies make useful thread checkers for pitch!

Pulled one out today:

M6 thread
1mm pitch
25mm thread length
8mm socket size (though under DIN 6921 this should be 10mm so I'm not sure if mine were replaced at some point?)
