That IS a mare of a part to lose!
For the balls, you can get the steel ones made for the 501X - if you can find them. when I lost one of the steel ones I made my own from an alloy ball stud - the kind with internal threading. I drilled it out to remove the threads and so it slipped over the hinge pin. in my case it didn't last long since it was alloy in the alloy hinge pin brace on the 501X - but on the Durga it would be fine.
Bit of a farce but if you have the bits required and are handy, then it's not a big deal.
