Alternatively, instead of this appalling "little man in a shed" bodge, you might want to consider taking the trouble to do the job properly, and use the correct fastener.
In other news, it is not unknown for self-tappers to be used in threaded fittings, instead of the correct (4BA in the case I have in mind: very exotic... not) machine screw. It's just the same sort of bone-idle don't-give-a-damn sloppiness in action.
British Association threaded hardware is readily available from reputable suppliers in all sorts of sizes and materials. If all else fails, there's always ebay.
Not for the first time, I draw your attention to our forum rules. In future, please find ways to make your points without the personal attacks and sarcasm.
