Since you have a choice when you buy the replacement bolt, whatever size you decide, I would suggest that you buy a grade 8 bolt instead of a softer bolt since it is loaded in shear and subject to rotational wear. Common hardware fasteners aren't the best choice. Reaming/drilling out the existing holes to a consistent size/clearance would also be a plus if you want the repair to last and rotate cleanly.
