The mill has an old DropsA pump which needs repair, and parts are no longer available, so I've been looking at a Bijur pump. Here is a pic of the DropsA on the mill (minus the lube tank and actual pump mechanism)
The problem is that I'm coming up with two different models of Bijur for a Bridgeport.
Here is one:
D3174C - Bijur L5P-R One Shot Lubrication Pump
But Hardinge sells this one as an OEM.

I looked at the specs of both pumps and they both put out 75psi and both are 1-5cc shot.
Is there any advantage of one over the other?
I'm a little concerned the one with the lever will hit some hardware installed on the mill (when the knee travels upward).
Lastly, the one Hardinge shows has a splitter right on the pump itself. Any idea if that can be removed (since my mill already has the splitter attached to the knee)?
