[Gristmillers] Need top for pillow block Mill SN: 3287 - 16" Meadow Mills

[Faber McMullen]

Great idea!  I will probably order a pillow block from McMaster this  
week and keep looking for the original cap to put it back to being  
historically accurate.
I plan to call Meadow Mills and see if they might have a spare one for  
sale.  Can babbitt lead be purchased easily somewhere?
