Wow! That was a lot of work just to save a gasket. Why not just purchase a longer set of studs? I am sure you could find what you want at most quality auto parts suppliers, if that doesn't work try a fastner supply store. You could also buy some that are a bit too long and cut them down if you get desperate. And if you are really desperate just go out and buy your own steel rod stock and cut your own threads. Good luck.
