Best 'bulk buy' body screw length? - Top Down - 30th-Aug-22

Which is more useful or most used, the 2.2mm x 6.5mm or 2.2mm x 8mm partially threaded body screw?  

I suppose you can shorten an 8mm but can't lengthen a 6.5mm - but would that become tedious if the majority of manufacturers use 6.5mm as the norm? 

Would an 8mm just allow more free body movement or ... ?

Thinking of buying a quantity and don't want to end up with the least useful size

I can't answer directly because I use M2 torx screws but I can say 6mm long are used less than 8mm long ones on my cars.

9mm is the preference for me.

The longer they are, the longer it takes for them to fall out!

This is why a bulk custom order was going nowhere elsewhere.

Everyone wanted something different.

Can't please everyone - or anyone - it seems. Bulk ordering's a dead duck. Ten at a time will have to suffice. C'est la vie.
