Yes, I need some! I went to the local hardware store and they did not have them in the correct size.

How much do you want for four?

How do you keep them from coming out again?

You need the retainer. I've thought about finding a machine shop to reproduce those.

Is the retainer like a little clip that holds it in place?

Abe you have a PM.

The balls are kept in the track with a retainer that holds the balls in the indented "track" in the ash receiver.

where did you source the items in question. Realized that I am missing one which explains why the ash-tray was a little loose.
