Anyone know what size these are? I looked at Amazon questions on the zoom seatpost a vendor replied that they are M6x34mm. However, there was no mention of the thread. I think these would fit. They are 1mm longer, but I’m pretty that is a non-issue.

Has anyone replaced these horrible, aluminum, bolts?

Please try to ignore my hasty attempt at a temporary solution. I was going to be late for work otherwise. :)

Take it to Home Depot and use their thread gauge. They should have a suitable replacement
 
HD sells steel bolts from the land of imitation steel. I've snapped imitation steel bolts. HD don't have metric thread. I've also bought steel pipe from HD that had visible pinholes in it. Same country of origin. I do buy wood from HD. I buy bolts from mcmaster.com , frequently the mil-spec ones.
I measure metric thread by counting the number or threads in a known distance between the points of a caliper. Subtract one. You have to divide distance by # of threads, metric is length per thread. Bought some weird 12x1.25 nuts 2 weeks ago from MCM for this new hub motor that came from ***** without any nuts.

I’ll head to a hardware store. I notice that I can remove the nuts in the clamp. So I just need the new bolt to be the right length and have the right diameter head. Also to be sure the nut can fit in the clamp. I’ll bring it in and size it up in the store. I appreciate the input and direction. :)
