    They're M6 X 1.0 I don't know what 1.0 pitch would be considered (fine or coarse.)

    Thanks Thread, I'm picking up this:

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-5546-6-HELI ... _731wt_901


    NEW 5546-6 HELICOIL THREAD REPAIR 6 MM X 1.00 12 INSERT & TOOL COMPLETE KIT

    It appears to have the same specs.
