Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

Most bicycle fender/rack eyelets are tapped for a 5x.8 metric screw. Likewise most racks are drilled for 5mm screws. If your frame uses 6mm fender eye screws, go ahead and drill the rack to the nearest close size above 6mm.

But double check that your frame is in fact tapped for a 6mm screw because that's fairly rare.
