Saving a Golden West Billiards Table From the Grave

Greetings from Cairo, Egypt. I recently bought a wreck of a table imported to Egypt from the US, and I'm trying to restore it. It's a Golden West BIlliards table, with three slate panels. I mainly bought it for the slate, which is rare here (marble is commonly used, or granite). I'm having the liners fixed, and a few small repairs done to the rails and side panels. But the main problem I face -- and this is the first table I have attempted to assemble, though I'm 53 and played snooker and pool since I was 5 -- is that the table came with no fasteners or fittings at all. I think it's probably standard, what is needed, but I need help to know the right slate screws to use, the right liner screws to use, the right rail bolts to use, and any other info that would be useful. I want to get this table back to life, but also do it properly, so I can be dismantled and moved in the future. Any help would be much appreciated. Some images attached. I don't have a good image of the table assembled.
