No idea, but you can always buy a 6 and an 8 mm and see which one fits. Shouldn't cost more than 25c each.

No, Probally a buck or two, they really rape you on metric bolts, @ Lowes anyway.........About a month ago I needed four bolts so could mount a 22re to an engine stand I think they were 4 inches or something, I cand remember the shank diameter but they cost me like 6 bucks a piece OUCH!!! But what are you gonna do when you have to have them? Sucks.

That's the advantage of living in a country that uses the metric system, metric fasteners are cheap and easy to find.
