Hi,

I was stupid and cut one of the UF4007 diodes that came with the Crack kit too short and am in need of buying a new one.
Are there any specific requirements I need on these UF4007 or any UF4007 is fine?

Thanks!

Any old UF4007 is going to be just fine.  Your local parts store may carry NTE parts, and the NTE575 is equivalent.   

In a pinch, you should very easily be able to find the following diodes at the local electronics shop that will also work OK:

1N4007, 1N4006, 1N4005

There are hundreds that will actually work, but only a couple that are as good or better performing than the UF4007.
