metric bolts suck

[Red Bull Breeder]

Got to drill out a bolt and tap new threads. The bolt i am drilling out is a metric 16x40x1.50. What standard bolt size would you tap it out to?? Or just try and find the next size bigger metric>

RB, 16mm in diameter X 40mm in length X 1.5 threads/mm?

16mm is about 5/8", 40mm is about 1.5" long. The next size up SAE bolt will be a 3/4". Does this help you any?

Thanks Lavacarancher i got it figured out after i posted. 3/4 is about the same as a 18mm so here we go.
