Not a gasket per-se, but rather a very small portion of the canvas cover that went over the cam plate. Portions of the bottom were retained by being sandwiched between the cam baseplate and the hull. It had a snap on each end for where it went around the crosstube. Basically it was to keep mud, gravel, spare washers and nuts etc, from fouling in the can to crosstube. I have the remnants of most of one in my collection somewhere, however have never seen a complete one, nor wanted to try and reproduce it. It is tough enough getting the cam plate back on a carrier without fiddling around with a canvas cover.
