The glass is 405 x 407 mm in size, which comes out to 16" X16" - It cost me $13 to get glass cut at my local hardware store.  Go for the "double thick" or window glass.  Its thicker and can handle the balls hitting it VS single thickness glass.  Plexiglas might seem like a good idea if you have children.  

Screws and hardware can be purchased at any home center like Home Depot

A "Loosing Ball/Ball Dump/Ball Exit 1" container can be made from a cut cleaned out antifreeze jug. The jug can be cut to shape with a razor blade.

E-Clips (Shaft Retainers) - Most machines have two sizes, big and small.

"Big" = 3.0mm or .120" - Carried By Tower Hobbies
"Small' = 2.5mm or .100" - Carried by Tower Hobbies
