eBay is cracking for stainless bits and bobs. I've got a local iron monger who's good but if he can't help me I use fleabay. There's a seller called the bolt man who generally has all the nuts, bolts, screws and washers you'll need and he delivers quickly.
M6 is perfectly adequate for your grill rests, I always use a penny washer on the inside too.

Three words, washing machine drum.
You might have to do some hacking to get a bit more air flow but if I remember correctly yeti used drums for his uds successfully.

Re: Ugly Drum Smokers
The Pro Q charcoal basket works well. I only used it because I got it free. Mine is mounted on stainless bolts above an 18" pizza pan which is my ash catcher.
