at least it wasn't metric

  It was a long time ago, before I knew about metric, but 6mm is probably closer to BSC than unf anyway (least I think it's unf- better check sometime)

But don't use a 6mm to replace 1/4 - it's a smaller diameter and will strip. If I get a gearlever that won't clamp tight, I use a nut on the bolt end to gain a little extra purchase. High tensile bolts are required here.

 Obvious- was just making a flippant observation that may work in an emergency
