Got it today. Not suitable - more like an O-ring.
In email discussions with a Tech at Stant.
Surely some other application, be it a truck, tractor or marine uses something suitable in the size we need.

Is hard to tell from 1 iffy picture but at least doesn't cost allot.
RA said had "glue" on 1 side to stay put installing it so I thought maybe flat ring? Is it even close to fit?

bottom ring is likely too big to compress right. Over Compressing rubber can squeeze out, break or both. More so w/ gap isn't complete close like here.
Could do same as "my" top post above. Cheap and works.
Or Find "better then cork" and do similar. Cork composite material isn't crap that many think. Most just have no clue how to use it right.
Could find 2 or 3 small rings that nest to fit. Small as size of "rubber" like 1/8" to 3/16" to compress good. 2 or 3 different total sizes to nest w/o bothering each other.
Could search and buy new T'stat tube hopefully should come w/ the gasket. Cost $30 to $50 each. For many this is a better option because tube often have "Rust" eating thru the sides, at top making hard to seal the cap or both. One of my "spares" has holes thru the side, One use has minor top rust.

Saw this in another thread for original T-stat housing with rolled edge.
May work better than FelPro 35062 gasket in that application.

It is a hard plastic gasket with a rubber o ring. Install dry, no sealant. The bolt holes have to be elongated with a file to fit.
Never leaked a drop after two years and multiple removals. No overheating issues. If the flange on the housing is corroded you must clean it good.
This is the exact item I used: https://www.amazon.com/Fel-...asket/dp/B000C2E4GM/ |

Unless you mod the "gen2" housing, very likely it won't work.
MAYBE Solder flat sheet in the indent to flatten then use any old style gasket.
But is way more work the making a gasket and use some sealer as needed as said above.

Another option is to have a machine shop mill it flush to remove the ring. The flange on this housing is much thicker than the other style housing and will still be thicker even with some milling.

Hello, that was me. That gasket won't work on this housing, I tried it as I have both t-stat housings. It only works on the other smooth housing. Unfortunately the o ring is not thick enough.
