Do they do a 'coarse' pitch metric in 6mm do you know Andy (is 'std'
1.25)?


Coarse M6 is 1.0 and fine is 0.75

I'd use M8, which is 1.25 for coarse and 1 or 0.75 for fine.


Thanks for that.

The current holes in the bracket wall plate part are only ~6mm dia at
the moment but would easily open up the clear an 8mm machine screw. To
stand a chance of getting the little plastic cover back on I'd either
have to use pan head screws or countersink the holes (one 'hole' is
round and quite deep (two layers of steel) so that would take a
countersunk easily but the top one is 'slotted' (for adjustment of the
vertical alignment) so that might have to be pan (as it only goes
through one layer of steel).


All the best ..
