Thanks for the post, this is exactly the same issue that I'm dealing with but for two different reasons. This first one is that I've got a long steep driveway and when I reverse up I get a lug of oil coming out through the crank handle, I need a solution to keep engine oil in (and thus my wife off my back). The second issue is that I'm planning a drive in to some very remote and dusty areas of Australia so I need a solution to keep very fine dust entering the sump via the crank handle. I was looking for a lip seal that I could use matched with a speedi sleeve on the handle. If I get a good result I'll let you know.
The later Sport's nose shown in Goodwin's Pitman is obviously different to the earlier nosepiece above, having to resist oil pressure -
