Did you try Wych Bearings? They've always come up trumps for me.

I did not, but now it's too late as it's partly assembled again. But I think my solution will work, the o-ring size is within tenths of a mm of what was fitted before.

Been there before. Everything crossed here.
Everything finally back together, still need to test it but first some other jobs while the car is in the garage.
Some advice for those tackling this job:
- main thing needed is 2 ways of supporting the gearbox, one static and one jack. You will need to switch them, and be able to remove the transfer box off the jack.
- prop shaft nuts are bastards, use 9/16 3/8 drive socket plus suitable extensions
- use new screws and loctite when bolting the trigger wheel to the park brake gear
- grease the flanges of the chassis crossmember when refitting, use a jack and mallet to get it in
- you don't need to remove the exhaust front pipe! Just unbolt the connection to the middle box
- I had the car on bump stops and needed to raise the chassis for fitting/removing the props as they where too long to go over the bolts on the transfer box side. Raising the car extends the prop shafts
Final advice: use a bore scope to check the bolts before ordering a new sensor.
