So I am leaning toward self drilling self tapping screws. I am planning to drill a pilot hole -- I will experiment to see what size pilot will give me the best results.
I am leaning toward hex head screws -- I have a tendency to strip Phillips screws when working upside down, and hex heads give me a nice solid grip, so that I can snap the head off a few of the screws by over-tightening them.
I'd drill a pilot hole and use Canadian invented #2 Robertson square head self tapping screws ... with a properly sized pilot hole a cordless drill will easily secure the screws tightly without fear of twisting the head off. Robertsons may be harder to source in the US but are FAR superior to those awful American invented Philips head screws. :p
And there you have it....Canada's legacy to technology......the head of a screw LOL. :)
