Watch it there are 2 thread pitches in 6 gauge, #6x32 and #6x40. Not sure which these are.. best to find a sample and take it.

Does it really matter which thread pitch? As its only going through the 1 layer of sheet steel no?

I had the same problem, I use a little bigger ones that mentioned above. I couldnt really get them to bite that much so I countersunk it a bit more and use some bigger SS ones.
