There's a guy in the USA who sells them on eBay for $70, as seen here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/266575035014

Here's another ad in the UK at about the same price, but not sure how old it is: https://www.mg-cars.org.uk/imgytr/store ... rays.shtml

Because the pan gaskets and the front seal are usually not the problem, it is the rear slinger that causes the major leak that this thing was designed to remedy as a stop gap band aid :D measure.
