If you are drilling a hole why do you need
M8 hardware instead of 5/16 or even go larger which is readily available in 
stainless steel.  I do not believe that stainless steel bolts come in the same 
grades standards as steel although some stainless materials may be equivalent.

No ME here either, but I think the idea is that the bolt acts as a shear pin. 
You want it to fail before the rotor or mast.
