[SEL] Fuel pump check balls

[Judge Tommy Turner]

Curt,
    Can't you get them in bronze from Hit and Miss, Lee Pederson or 
Starbolt?  One of those guys had them and they were inexpensive, about a 
buck.  I think marbles are a possiblity but if you are using them on a 
water pump, they may hammer the seat hard enough that they will chip.

    Or, go to ebay and buy this whole box of 1/2" stainless ball 
bearings and share them with all your list friends!
