The shoulder on the old studs will prevent the new rubber gasket seating and sealing properly.
You need to change the studs.

Re: rocker cover gasket
Yeh that veedubmachine is very cheap, theres an ebay shop aswell.
Bought my brother a rear window mechanism for his MK2 golf from there, hasn't broken yet, not that it ever gets used.
I think I bought a heater valve from them a while back too which still works to date.
In response to the appalling ability of some of the VW parts people, I have my own copy of VAGcat now and it makes life so much easier.
If anyone wants to post me a stamp and a CD I'll happily send you a copy.
