Happy Birthday To Me?

[SmokeyBear]

So, a friend of mine gave me her hookah setup for my birthday. It's a pretty sweet deal, I got a bunch of shisha, as well as a carrying box and all the necessary equipment. Thing is, this beast needs some TLC. One of the hose adapters needs a new ball bearing, and neither one of my heads will fit on the stem. The head without the wind cover has a grommet, but it's not snug at all. The head with the cover is missing the grommet entirely. The stem needs some cleaning as well, there's a little rust developing around the bottom where the downstem screws on. Complicating matters, I have no idea what the sizes I need to be looking for, the brand, nothing. I do believe that the tongs are MYA tongs however. If anybody could shed some light on this, that would be awesome. Thanks!

Well, I just got back from the headshop. I ended up just getting a new bowl, and the one I got fits like a glove. The guy at the shop had mentioned using BBs as ball bearings in the hose adapters, and that gave me an idea. When I got home, I grabbed an old steel tongue ring I wasn't using, screwed off a bead, and lo and behold a perfect fit!

if that ball bearing you use ends up getting stuck, you can use some airsoft bb's there super light, no getting stuck
