8-32 x 4" Torx or Allen head screw. Black would be nice. I can find Phillips head but I would like a drive not likely to be destroyed by repeated tightening.
BTW, is 8*32 the largest you can fit in that application? When it comes to hardware, bigger is almost always better, especially in extended lengths. 10*32 is a common size.
Also, if at all possible, avoid using 6*32 when building things, as that is a very weak screw. Common to have the shank break.
If a socket-head cap screw would work, take a look at https://www.boltdepot.com/Product-Details.aspx?product=7953

Socket head in that screw size is the only type head available for longer than about 2.5", according to the Fastenal web site.

8-32 is the thread of the T-nut I need to screw into. I only use 6-32 for little or no load applications.
