Kevin ,
If you need a new GM NOS grease cup & fitting

4 ) are currently available GM NOS on ebay .
Go to ebay & type in the search box...........805579 .
The GM grease cups hardly ever show up on ebay .
I consider them a rare part & very hard to find .
Here's the cup & fitting that's on ebay .
$25.00 & Free shipping .
Anyone that needs a nice new rust free Cup & Fitting.........here's your chance !

https://i.postimg.cc/fLVFBK0G/Bakelite-Rod.jpgI wonder if the bakelite rods on ebay could be modified to be a replacement plug
since the GM plugs are no longer available ?
The original PLUG had a FIBRE backing with a total thickness of 1/8 "
so, the actual thickness of the bakelite was pretty thin .
The plug was like a sandwich glued together .
I have some GM fibre starter washers .

https://i.postimg.cc/htYHk6bC/Commutator-Fibre-Washers-GM-NOS.jpgI'd like to come up with an original type plug using a bakelite rod on ebay
and some FIBRE from one of these washers to create a copy of the
original GM sandwich...........any suggestions ?
What kind of glue would one use ?
I'd like for someone to come up with a workable spring replacement .
The original seems to be a pretty strong spring .
Dragsix , Do you know the GM part # of the spacer / cushion ?
