Steering box bearing cup not available

Hi all,
I am trying to get my steering box to stop leaking and while taking apart the cover plate at the very bottom I discovered that the bearing cup was broken in three pieces. The bearing[s?] are fine but the cup that it sits in is not usable. I have looked at the Moss Catalog on this page:
https://www.mossmotors.com/Shop/ViewProducts.aspx?PlateIndexID=29140#top
and it shows as not available as below.

12 129-108 N/A
BEARING ASS'Y, 1 cup, 1 ball cage assembly

Is this something that I can get replaced elsewhere generically? Would it be possible to replace this bearing with another as long as it is the same size? Where do you get bearings by themselves. I also looked at Vicky Brit and they do not even list it.

Thanks very much,
Jim Lee

Ball cage is Stanpart # 60371, Cup over ball cage is #60373. TRF seems to have it: 60373 T23 CUP,BEARING,STG. CUR L 0 $33.95

If you don't have it, get a copy of the Spare parts catalogue, part #501653
makes it easier to order from places like TRF, NFI.....
