Finding the right screw

[Gep]

Hi all, I'm trying to find the right screw to attach my speaker to a speaker stand.
I have the details (see image) but at the nearby hardware store they are pretty useless.
First they gave me one screw (M5 I believe) which is too small. Then another one (M6 I believe) which is slightly too big.
Is there a website where I can buy the right screws?
Many thanks!

Probably looking for a good screw, Andy. I mean who doesn't?

If an M5 is too small and an M6 is too big would this be a non-metric screw such as BSW (Whitworth) or BA (Armstrong)?

Most hardware stores don't do much in the way of imperial bolts, but a local nut/bolt/fixings supplier would, or ebay.

First one that came up on ebay, not that you need stainless:

Ah, if your document is correct, it is

https://www.diynot.com/diy/attachments/musiccast20wallmountscrewhole-png.230823/

diameter quarter-inch

TPI 20

So probably 1/4" UNC

see here

probably American.

And you need a screw not a bolt

here you are

https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=1/4"+unc+screw+hex&_sacat=0&LH_TitleDesc=0&rt=nc&LH_PrefLoc=1

that was easy.

 

[ETAF]

the spec says a 1/4" 20 Thread bolt

[JohnD]

the spec says a 1/4" 20 Thread bolt

You're right

On careful reading, it even says UNC

If all else fails, read the instructions, eh?

 

[Gep]

Thanks guys, that was extremely useful. I was focusing on the hole specifications, didn't notice the screw specifications...

You could just use a standard bolt in the wall mount bracket and lock it in with a nut.
