Would using Cork material 1/16" thick be ok to us as a gasket ? Tried the pre made ones and they do not fit, too small... Tried Fel-Pro RDS5007 & RDS5008 ...

You need a paper thin gasket between the differential and the housing. Thickness does not matter between the housing and rear cover.

I use Permatex gasket maker on the differential side.
