I have a stepped(?) hole where the M6 threaded section is threaded.
The non-threaded shoulder(?)/widest part of the hole is 6.7mm.
Is that enough meat to rethread to M7, or should I drill out to M8?
Cheers.
(The step was obviously part of a manufacturering process, but now I can't see any reason not to thread the whole section and if anything it would make it stronger)
