Oil feed pipe - Non return valve

Can anybody please do me a favour and measure the diameter of that little steel ball sitting in the Non return valve. I'm talking about that chain oiler pipe sitting next to the timing gear. The steel ball is spring loaded. Just dropped the last one I had on my workshop floor and it disappeared. Arrgg.
Still have the spring though and just need that ball. Heard that Rick is selling these, but never tried...

Take your dialed calipers (or a drill bit) and measure the inside diameter of the oiler pipe? Then order some balls from McMaster-Carr!

Great, thanks. That translates into 3/32" . Have ordered a pack of steel balls in that size. Will report back on the fit...
