Plenum elbow gasket - where from?

Went down to fords today to order the plenum elbow gasket, the one that goes between the elbow and the plenum cover. Bloody discontinued and Cometic don’t make one.. Anyone have any ideas?

I use LOCTITE 5910 or 5900, it will seal perfectly and not get blown out.

Great, thanks Tabs. I was thinking perhaps a high quality gasket sealer

Or cut one from gasket paper - had to do that for my rs500 thermostat housing. Cheap but very effective with the correct stuff
