Default What sealant for 4x4 speedometer housing??

I have pulled of the intermidiate driveshaft housing cover (section 14B-11 of the cosworth service manual) of my speedometer from my cosworth 4x4 but I cannot get the sealant at Ford. They tell me I have to buy the whole housing!

Does somebody else have any idea what I can use as it looked like an O-ring to me. But the size is so big I cannot get it anywhere.

The only place for SILICONE sealer is in the bin IMO.
Get some decent stuff LOCTITE 5910, don't need a gasket with this either, so long as you let it tack off first.
