some gaskets are thicker than others so you sometimes have to re-shim the drop gears

Could you "double up" on the gasket (fit 2 gaskets) to get around this problem ?

Some of the , Ahem, aftermarket gaskets are not thick enough.
Try measuring the thickness of the old gasket against the "new" gasket, then go from there.
Genuine Rover or PAYEN gaskets would be my first choice.
Doubling up the gaskets means having to re-shim the Idler gear.
