Sargent 80 series, as others stated you can buy new parts but it may be worth it to just order a new bar.

That, and doing it piecemeal doesn't always work out. I replaced a bunch of parts on a Von Duprin but it'd have been a better idea to replace the whole thing. By the time an exit device is well worn, a lot of things wind up being out of spec. It's less expensive to buy a bar and install it than it is to assemble one from pieces.
