• Looks like (currently) I’m engaging a mighty 4mm of an M6 bolt at (in theory) 13Nm. I’ve not been brave enough to go there.

    I think a longer bolt would engage the thread that is left untouched in the rocker- thread that has never been used until I threaded the bolt into it today.

    I’d prefer the hole not be blind so the bolt could be 10mm longer and not risk bottoming out.

  • You just need three revolutions of thread engagement. An ISO M6 has a pitch of 1.0mm so in reality 3mm engagement should be enough.

    So I've been told... Obviously it wasn't :)
