What is broken?
Quick repair is a 3/8 grade 8 bolt from the hardware store. You want a bolt that is good in sheer strength, and a grade 8 should fit the bill. That particular bolt looks rather specialized, and may be difficult to replace. A chrome bolt/nut may come close, and I personally would opt for chrome over stainless for strength reasons.

You can get a grade 5 or better bolt, something that has a smooth shank and a couple of acorn nuts. Cut the threads enough so the acorn nut bottoms out on the thread side,so the nut ends up near the smooth shank. Cut the head off the bolt and cut some threads where the head use to be. Leave at least 3/8" of the shank smooth where it goes thru the bat wing (use a washer between the nuts and the bat wing) wire tie or lock tight the nuts.
I'm sure speedway has them

Or go with an ARP Polished Stainless bolt set (to keep with a similar appearance) . . . They have stainless 300 which is stronger than grade 8, and on par with 300M
Maybe just replace all 4 and they'll be the same and be worry free.
Tough to tell with no markings (polished off?) but they look similar to Wilwood units, or possibly Hurst/Airheart. Speedway even has some cast with their logo on them. Not much help, I know, but maybe you can find a mfr name or number somewhere on the caliper.

Look at the diameter of the pucks and the way they are held in then check at Speedway for something that will interchange. A lot of manufactures made their stuff fit existing pads. You may have to replace calipers and brackets with something still available. They look like old Hurst Airheart calipers used on midgets to me.
