Thanks for the info, and yeah, it's MM not cm....
So, are all metric bolts the same thread pitch since they dont list
it???

Nope... metrix bolts are measured in how far from thread to thread.

It will most likely be an M6x1x16, meaning 6mm in diameter, 1mm from thread
to thread and 16mm long.

It's so much easier to say I need a 1/4" bolt 1" long with 24 threads per
inch.

Naw...

M6x1x16 is just as easy as 1/4"x1 UNC

Metric makes a lot more sense (it was designed that way). We just know
what we're used to. For example, what horsepower light bulbs do you
use? I don't know either, I use the dreaded metric unit--watts.
Familiarity with the metric system would have saved a couple of Mars
missions and about a gazillion dollars.
