Yes, the #6 is the first one that will fit .051. The problem is if you want to use a smaller blade. A small blade wont spin well on a #6 clevis.

I don't know the sizes but for .051 I like the smallest thick wire clevise. If you want a really small clevise, try a folded clevise. One thing to consider is what clevise to use with a french blade. I have found they spin best when you use a clevise big enough so that when you hole the spinner by the line tie, the blade lays vertical. If it does not, it won't spin well.
