Rubber Plug For Transmission Inspection Window

Hello
As the title says, mine's been missing for a while and road dirt got in there and destroyed the clutch slave cylinder.
I have since then replaced the slave cylinder with a FORD product that has the dust boot on it.

Before I go out and make a plate from aluminum and screw it in place, has anyone found a substitute plug that works here, I read that FORD no longer makes this part and there doesn't seem to be anything available ?

Transmission is a manual 5 speed, rear wheel drive.

There's a few on Ebay. People are starting to pull them at Junkyards and resell them.

People with fullsize Ford Trucks and Broncos have been picking the Ranger ones up to put in their M5R2's.
