I received my new fuel rail and had the foresight to order a nut firm another company. I did not however have the foresight to order a new metal ball. I want to install the rail but don't have the ball. Is there anyting else i can use in the meantime?

Friendan - the ball is in the nut to the valve whre you would check the fuel pressure.

I'll have a ball taking out my ball this weekend to put a pressure guage on there. I will definitely make sure that I grab my ball and hang on to it and make sure that things don't get outta hand.
In case you ever need to remove the guage it is a good idea to hang onto your ***** and keep them in a safe place!
