I was thinking the same about not being coarse but definitely not fine either. Machine?

Will you have enough thread on the bolt if you shorten it the amount you need?

Yes. 1/2" of threads. 10 threads at least by my count. Maybe 11. I used 2 washers and it's fine too. I'm just **** and would like it threaded tight without cutting it or using washers tho.

So I stopped down to Dubuque Hose & Hydraulic and we verified the size, picked up a 6mm tap, ran it in and all is well. Plenty deep just wasn't tapped deep enough. Dave's method would probably work but I was afraid it would either break or pull the threads out if it was bottomed out. Didn't take much at all.
Thanks.
