M6 & M8 Thread-pitch.....

[MikeDE]

Just a quick one before I go out and buy a Helicoil set...

I took a look on realoem.com to check on the thread pitch's of the M6 & M8's used on the m42 but they list only the length on the fasteners. So are they actually M6 x 1.0, or what???? I'm not home so I have no hardware or thread pitch guage handy.

Can someone help me out??

I know they are finer then 1.0 I think they are 1.5 for the M8's at least.

6mmx1.0
8mmx1.5

6mmx1.0
8mmx1.5

Half right, it's M8 x 1.25

You are correct, typo :(

m8x1.25 is standard thread, m8x1.5 is coarse and less common.
