When I built my Crack, I cut the leads to short on the cap that goes on 14U and 15U that is supposed to bend up after you put it in.  Mine only bends about half way.  I want to replace it so it can bend all the way up.  I bought a replacement at Mouser that appeared to be correct but looking at it after getting it, it says "B2315" on the side below the 105C.  The one installed in the Crack says "B2228".  I couldn't find any reference to what that number means.  Wasn't sure if it is a production number or if I don't have the right one. 

This is what I bought.  Is it correct?

That's just a production code; I wouldn't sweat the difference.
