Looking for M5 x .9 screw or scocket heat bolt....?

.9 thread? Doesn't exist as far as I know. M5x.8 does.

That's an oldie! Like 50+ year old thread standard. Is this on something Japanese?

There are folks online who have re-tapped a (close) 10-24 screw with a M5-0.9 die. That might be one of your few options.

Yep, M5 x .9 thread pitch sounds like something for a '60s to early '70sJapanese camera, telescope, micro-scope, or even a fishing reel, etc. If so, I'd check out such forums on such.

M5 x .9 are available.. So I am thinking that a blank bolt is the way to go.

Wow, I finally found something that McMaster doesn't have. They do have taps and dies in that size though. Good luck,

I have heard of guys taking a 10-32 screw and running it through an M5x .9 die.

I found this place that has some m5x0.9 screws: https://www.belmetric.com (use the search box at the upper right, enter 'm5x0.9'.)

Interestingly, Grainger still sells an M5 x 0.9 tap: https://www.grainger.com/category/m...d-taps?attrs=Thread+Size|M5x0.9&filters=attrs

Wow! An M5 x 0.9 does sound like a rare bird! But here's a guy back in 2011 that had a similar problem to you and he "rethreaded" some 10-24 standard screws:

How to make rare m5 .9 pitch screws (found on early-67) PICS included

So I have a 1967 Fj40 and was working on my rear lift up gate. I noticed the back panel on the inside was missing all but a few screws. I went to my local hardware store and found the ones I had were NOT M5x.8 nor were they anything standard. After doing some more research, and using my thread...
