Can anyone tell me what the screw size is for a Ballard lever and hammer?

The hammer screw is 0.219"x40TPI in the threads, but the ones I've made replacements for can be as large as 0.225" on the body.

The lever pin is also 0.219"x40TPI on the threaded end, but I got a body size of 0.226" on the one I made and noted down.

Typically, I make them pretty generous in size and fit them to the levers, hammers and extractors as needed.  The actions and parts are pretty worn by the time I get them and I don't like them wobbling on the pivots.
