Yeah im talking about the locking plate that stops the camshaft from falling out.....And yes it is an M6 not any different as i did that, i went to a shop and asked 'i need a tap kit and drill for this please' and they gave me exactly what i wanted, as to be expected.
The real question i had was has anyone really heard of people leaving broken shafts or cheap bums like the person(s) dattodude said of pushing the shaft back down the hole not cool!

And yeah there is no pitch 1.5mm with a width of 9mm as that is pretty darn big or werid for an application like that, is this agreable??
