Help finding thread pitch (M6x16 bolt)

My searches haven't been very successful. While installing some aftermarket exhaust I got a little rough with a drill and sheared one of the bolts for the exhaust flap actuators. Now I need to drill it out and tap the hole. Would anyone be able to help me find the thread pitch for M6x16 part # 18308623584 (#9 in the pic) so I can get the correct tap?

If you have the bolt, take it to Home Depot or Lowes. They would be glad to help you. If you need a new bolt anyway, they might be able to sell you both a tap and bolt.

I ordered new ones along with a few other things so not in hand, also sitting at work. Want to get the tap so I can fix this before the bolts get here so it's a quick job.

Man, I don't know. Without having the bolt in my hand or a clean threaded hole to work with it'd be tough to know. Unless somebody has some exhaust laying around...

Why can't you use a good bolt from the other side to get measurements?

Not necessarily asking people to pick up a bolt and measure, just trying to see if someone might know the info or where to find it online.
