I didnt want to drill up my oilcooler, and getting another werent an alternative, type3 parts are *almost* as rare as hen's teeth in my area. What I did was I got an M8 bolt in correct length, cut off the head and milled it down to 6 mm by fastening it in the chuck on my powerdrill. Then I used a new metal file, milled it down to 6 mm (@ 3000 rpm) and threaded it to M6 threads. Before I threaded it, I cut it to proper length.
