Seeking size and source for 2000 era Genesis bolt

I'm sure someone will know the answer to this. I have three circa 2000 Genesis (A and B) grills. For each, I need the longer bolt on the left that holds the firebox securely to the frame, preferably in stainless. My progress on fixing them up stalled a bit after last summer, and I am embarrassed to say it, but the grills have been operating without the bolts for about a year now.

Does anyone have a link for a good link for that bolt?
 
1/4-20 2 inch, and SS is the way to go.

I use a SS flat washer on the inside of the cookbox.

Longer won't hurt as it is under the side table.
 
I agree with Dan. 2" long 1/4-20 in Stainless. I have replaced several dozen of them on Silver B and Genesis 1000 cook boxes.
The bolts holding the manifold on are 1 1/2" x 1/4-20. Stainless for those too.
 
Stainless is much better than ordinary steel because of its much lower heat conductivity.
If Weber had used stainless from the start there would have been far fewer of these grills going for scrap due to frame failure.
 
LOL. Yah, we are talking about bolts that are in the 20 year old and older class. I think that if you can get a grill to last that long, it has fulfilled it's promise. If you can get it to go longer, then that is a bonus.
