Regal Humbucker Ring mounting screws

[rookosu]

Those that have built Regals before, for those 4 mounting screws for the humbucker rings, have you found that you needed the same length screws for both?  Or long ones for the bridge and short ones for the neck ring?

Here's the specific type I found that have me asking the question.

At the risk of being obvious - it depends on the rings themselves. Taller rings need longer screws, and vice-versa. Sometimes on instruments with carved tops, tilt-back necks, and/or taller bridges (TOM bridge, for instance), the bridge pickup sits a bit higher, and so uses taller mounting rings to allow the pickup to sit higher off the body (closer to the strings).
