i broke one of those, but the top one.
Not sure you can get replacements, just get a bolt with the right thread to fit

The bolt is drilled as it for a leak off line on the bottom of the pump.

Ollie, the bolt should have a small tube attached for excess fuel to drain out of the pump.

You can see a part of it in this photo I believe.
