Default TPS sensor gasket broke!!!

My TPS sensor was removed for shipping so it wouldnt break but the gasket is broken. i went to honda and they said they only sell the entire throttle body not just the gasket. what can i do for a waterproof seal? thanks in advance

maybe some silicone seal? i wouldnt worry about it too much. ive taken 2 tps sensors off my motors and never noticed a gasket. i guess that means i never used one. the tps never failed. put some silicone sealant around the outside of it if your paranoid.

Go buy a manila folder ( you know the 1 that folds in half, businesses use them ) and make your own gasket. All you need is a paper gasket and you can make your own.
