Hi y'all.

Not another Delrin rudder cam bolt topic, but I am just looking for confirmation of the metric size.
It looks like M18 x 2 to me, but I want to be absolutely sure before I clean out the threads with a thread tap.

Can anyone confirm or correct?

Thank you so much!

Whenever I need to clean the threads in the lower rudder casting where the delrin screw is I use a 3/4" x 6 1/2" bolt with #10 threads.
