Best bet is to buy a gasket and measure it with a micrometer, the gasket is usually around the one to two dollar mark. In saying that though I have used all kinds of gasket paper over the years without issue.

Thanks jo, will grab one tomorrow and take it to one of the local car parts places, they have micros sitting around, usually.

some 0.4mm paper sitting in front of me thinking it looks good!
