Default Missing Cap, Inner Universal Joint Housing

Here's a good one for everybody: My car is missing the Inner Universal Joint Housing!! I am wrapping up my clutch install and I was pondering the TWO universal housing gaskets... I've been driving around without this part since before i did my clutch job. It is a bit disconcerting...however it looks like the inner housing's main function is to keep the grease inside the joint and not let too much of it go down the driveshaft. Should I be safe to continue to drive it like this or should I wait until I can source the part?

Oh...anybody have one for sale? Part # A-4513-A it is the equally spaced-type spacer....

That part also keeps the rear axle from moving forward.

Bert's has the largest inventory of Original parts plus all the new repro parts which others carry.

They also know which repro parts are good and which not so good.
