How would it not be 1/4 when it's a starnut.. 1/4 bolts come with FSA headsets for the starnut..

Correct me if i'm wrong.

then used the bolt that came with the bike headset.

there is obviously a lot of confusion. Ya I spent like an hour at home depot and OSH and neither of them sell the right bolt at the right length. m6 is a METRIC bolt, and this is the type of bolt that comes with the package when you buy a headset. this is pretty close to being a 1/4" bolt, but that is an ENGLISH bolt, and it doesn't convert or fit anything metric like the starnut because it has a different thread count. Its like apples and oranges lol.

Ian NO. It's m6 and they don't make m6 bolts 8 inches long. Get a threaded rod and weld a nut at the end or order a compression bolt through SR because I looked everywhere for a bolt that was m6-8 inches long
