What size screw?

[Deleted member 43763]

Finally getting around to mounting the folding lock and moving the bottle cage. I will be needing a slightly longer screw for the lock. Can someone tell me what diameter and thread count they are?
Metric ain’t my thing, but I will learn.

When putting in a longer screw into the downtube, remove the battery first so you can monitor how deep the screw goes, otherwise if too long it will interfere with the battery. Worse, if the battery is installed, then the screw could screw into the battery and cause damage.

I was always needing different lengths of M5 for different bicycle mounting uses so I bought from Amazon a variety kit:

Glarks 150Pcs M5 Stainless Steel Button Head Hex Socket Head Cap Bolts Screws Nuts Assortment Kit

It is also useful to have some washers that fit as well.

Thanks for helping everyone.
The job is done well.
And I had no idea how heavy the battery is.
