Get some self tappers?I’m just after some advice as I’m looking to have a stock of self tapping screw and metal. Most would need to be an Inch or less and then some general washers.

Where to buy and what to buy. Main use for them is fixing FP200 into metal using P Clips and also screws for Door Contacts as 1” 8 are too big.Are you wanting advice about where to buy, what to buy, how to use them or something else entirely?
try Warnhill Tools in Winsford. TEK screws come in bags of 200, various sizes. fantastically low prices. My first port of call for tools, aerosols, screws, silicon and such . etc.

I try to keep a selection of fasteners to cover most eventualities, but generally find when you need a particular fixing it'll be the one thing you don't have.
Some sort of organiser might be an idea as it can be topped up as necessary and much easier than rummaging through a box of allsorts.
As commented above, for P clips into metal I'd imagine you want self-drilling screws.
I tend to get a trade tub of red plugs and screws for general everyday use, a set of screws to cover other situations, then anything else as required for the job (e.g. wall dogs, self drilling, machined)

When I worked at a factory a long time ago I did manage to get a jobsworth middle manager to label a tray of nails "self-tapping nails" when he was flapping around in the wake of a British standards inspection and demanding everything was labelled to death. "Nails? that doesn't help anyone? What length, what type, what material?"
Quick as a flash I shouted out "Galv 2 inch self tapping sir.". My co-workers managed to suppress the sniggers. "THATS more like it, thank you!". Label machine whirred into action. It gave us minions a laugh for many months afterwards.
That’s not helpful when the guy’s asking for advice.Just buy some self tappers man
I used to occasionally have a session with a chop saw and 20mm conduit and create a few spacers.I’m just also looking for Spacers or Washers to put behind Alarm Panels, to stop the panel from squashing the 8 core cables.
to space panels from wall I use 1/2"(variable) cuts of 20mm pvc tube around the screws.Main screw we use are Stainless Steel Countersunk. In 1 inch Inch and a Half and 2 Inch. I’m just also looking for Spacers or Washers to put behind Alarm Panels, to stop the panel from squashing the 8 core cables.
