Default 6x12 Bolts are what exactly?

I found the bolts I want online.



Number 17 and 15. One is 6x12 and one is 8x16. What does that mean? I am trying to find the bolt size and pitch and my google fu has brought up nothing. I believe the words I'm using to search are bringing me results I don't want.

Thanks.

P.S This is the clutch/flywheel inspection plate on a B16 motor. (Referencing 1994 Del Sol VTEC B16A3 online)

M6x1.0mm
M8x1.25mm

The second number is the length below the head, in mm.

Very related thread: https://honda-tech.com/forums/tech-misc-15/common-honda-bolt-thread-pitch-size-dimension-1885652/

The 90% you will find:
M6-1.0 --- common (10mm head bolts)
M8-1.25 -- common (12mm head bolts)
M10-1.25 - some headbolts (14mm head bolts)
M12-1.25 - common (17mm head bolts)
M12-1.5 -- lugnuts
M14-1.5 -- oil pan drain plug. 19mm head bolt that connects rear trans bracket to trans

It'll be cheaper and easier to find these bolts at the junkyard. Any honda(in terms of transmission) will have the same bolts.

I have the common bolt sizes all printed out on a spread sheet from when I did my swap. I just couldn't stitch together the meaning of 6x12, I kept on thinking of wood

Thanks everyone. I'll get the bolts at the hardware store. Cost me $3 probably for SS bolts.

EDIT: holmesnmanny

I saw you suggested the junkyard in another thread. My local pick n pull is an hour away (say $5 in gas one way) and costs $2 for yard admission. Not really cheaper when I can go 5 minutes down the road and pick them up. haha. I assume there are a lot of people in the same situation, the junkyard isn't always local or easily accessible.
