A while ago, I removed both the handbrake clevis pins from the rods to give them a clean up.

The rod that goes from the handbrake lever to the bell crank is threaded 5/16-24 UNF, so I ran a 5/16 UNF tap through to clean out the threads. However, I didn't realise that the rod from the bell crank to the expander is actually 5/16-22 BSF until after I had put the unf tap through the clevis. Obviously this ruined the threads, but I assumed the resistance was simply due to dirt and rust.

I found out via google that there are two separate part numbers. 215809 for BSF, and 275199 for UNF. However, I have seen both UNF and BSF advertised online with either of these numbers. How can I be sure what I'm buying if I order one?

Thanks for any info.
