Brake booster replacement woes
Has anyone else had this problem?
Need to replace the brake booster in my '86 4000Q. The new part is not exactly the same as the old and needs some new hardware - the clevis where it connects to the brake pedal, and an associated nut and pin.
Clevis and nut are fine. Docs say the needed pin is VAG p/n 443 721 371A.
When I go to order the pin online, all the sites I've tried (which appear to all be using the same database) say that part number is superseded to a 1J1721373EROH "bracket".
Being the dummy I am, I ordered the 1J1721373EROH, and guess what, it's definitely a bracket and not the pin I need.
Anyone ever dealt with this before and know what is the correct part to order?
Thanks!

Never mind!
Update: I'm a moron!
I had searched and ordered 443721371A as a *Volkswagen* part, since the other parts came up fine that way and I didn't think VW and Audi part numbers overlapped.
Now I know better: 443721371A in the *Audi* parts database comes up as a pin!
Doh.
