    I have an AMP Research Bed XTender also. The screws will be fine, just use the correct drill bit for the pilot holes.

    Mine weren't self tapping. Bottom line is that the screws are fine.

    I used the self tapping screws, but I pre drilled just to be safe. The screws hold well and have not caused any problems for me.
