Thanks everyone for the replies! Looks like I'm going back to the Gits cups. Just trying to figure out which ones.
Closest I can find is a Style G, Part # 00501 which is listed as needing 11/16" of clearance around it. Mine will rotate within 1/2". Not that it has to screw in. Its just tight clearance for the one behind the cover.
I pulled the one near the tail stock for the end of the lead screw. It's a brass press in .250" with about .250 to press into the hole, approx. 1/2" tall overall and what nobody specs is 1/2" from hinge to front of cover.
I see some listed on the bay for South Bends and some for various types of machinery that look close. They will fit my bore, but the cup may be too big to clear. Too expensive to take a shot on. Some are over $20 each! I'll drill a hole in an 1/8" pipe plug before I pay that for a tiny oil cup.
I'm going to order the 00501's from amazombi and try them. Only $3.43 and free ship. If too big for the area behind gearbox cover, I'll stick the small one I pulled for measurements there.
I got all the crappy old grease washed out and proper lubes on the way.
Thanks everyone for for putting up with my noob trivial problem. This is why the other forums don't like noobs.
