Make a gasket, and fit??

Or you could buy a sheet of carbon fibre, the sort that is used for models,

I thought it might need an insert with an oring to seal but you are probably right, certainly worth trying

This is similar to what I used and it’s a dead tight fit so not coming out, think I had to tap it in with a block of wood to get it in right but fits a treat for less than 10 bob(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240427/15059f4d5cfec1a3c4a0693ff73e932d.jpg)
