Thank you. I saw from the 97 Service Manual the P/N is 1410-0848. Google revealed what you indicated.

As luck has it, at lunch today I was searching online for a local source for the 0.125 nylon balls. I found one place in Toronto and was told they would give me 20 free as a sample. They were 10 minutes drive from my work as well !

Now I have many of these nylon balls. If anyone needs any please send me a PM with your address and number required. I'll post them at no cost to you.
