Well first off, thanks much to the guys that pitched in and helped out. I may be able to salvage enough parts
to make up three generators.
Now.....the little Gits 1/4" shoulder drive oil cups with the flip-up covers are almost always rusted/bent/broken off
or missing so I figured since I'm going to be devoting this month to generator and starter rebuilding, I orta pick up
a dozen or so oil cups. Generators all have at least 2 and some 3.
First place I looked, since I've already got an order ready to go, was McMaster Carr. They bowled me over with
$4.30 ea. priced in quantities over 10, plus the shipping (UP$) and tax.
So....I go online. figure the Chinese gotta be knockin' these out for .50c each with free shipping, but noooooo!
Seems Gits has the market cornered. Some places are pricing them as high a ten bucks...EACH! And these
are the little 1/4" un-threaded jobs I'm talkin' about. It's just a 1/2" of 1/4" thin tube with a cap on it.
Been manufactured the same way by Gits since the turn of the 20th century over 100 years.ago.
Is this nuts or what!!!!!!
Anybody ever find a better source....please.....post it, I'll stock up on a couple dozen.
