Advice on Transmission Front Cover

I am not sure how this happened but I just started to re assemble a rib case box (blown lay gear) that had been cluttering up the garage for several years and for some reason I cannot seem to locate the front cover/TO bearing fulcrum.
It came with a bunch of stuff from a friend who was clearing his basement. Everything was put into a box when I took it apart to see what the issues were. However, the front cover is missing.
The question is what is the correct part number? It is a late model ribcase box, the housing is 22G121 and the lay gear was the 1100 series (SB 1275 box)
How many different front covers are there? I know the smooth case is different (Have a one if anyone is interested)
I have see at least 3 different part numbers on Ebay but no matching to a specific box.
Any help in identifying the correct part would be appreciated.
Also if anyone has the correct part and does not need it any more let me know
Thanks in Advance

Hi Joe,

Answers to your questions here:

https://gerardsgarage.com/Garage/Tech/TO_Bearings/tobearings.htm

The Sprigetmania ones use a skimpy seal that is retrofit into an original cover (since the core charge) I prefer the new manufactured ones designed for a better, more substantial seal. I can probably get you one. I may also have a used one if you just want a replacement.

Thanks. I know about adding the lip seal to a cover. I actually found a seal and had it fitted to the cover on on my straight cut box that went with the FP car.

From your link it appears that all the front covers are the same. I am putting this box back together as a summer project to most likely sell it. If you have an unmodified one sitting around Let me know
Personal email is jschlosser@optonline.net

If I ever remove the motor again from my Sprite I will take you up on your real main seal and the trans front cover.
