Lynn has lent me a cross tube leather boot to copy. I'll let you know if i find someone who can do a good job at the right price.

It just so happens to be the one in the photo.

I found another item. The cam plate mounting plate had (at least on this Canadian MkI* Universal) a canvas gasket between the support plate and the floor apeture.
Anyone else found this?

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.

Is this the cover referred too? Unfortunately not mine.

Hi Rob, I wonder if the attachment was sewn to a full gasket. This one appears to have been all the way around. Maybe stitching tabs or the like, inside the bounds of the hole (to a flat rectangle of canvas) enabled the fitting of a cover?

Hi Stephen. I have not seen that one before. My AOP MkIIIw had the remains of a steel box type seal at the div plate that projected forward behind the seat in a similar fashion. it was probably only about 40mm deep with a rubber? seal that the two rods passed through. The problem is that the rods shift laterally as the cam plate rotates.
This one Rob talks of goes around the cross tube and cam plate.

Thank you Stephen, for adding your photo to this thread

Possible. That would stop you from having an uneven cam base-plate.

I also have the remains of a metal box that went under the seat. It prevented debris from reaching the cam plate thru the opining that the two steering cam rods went through.

If I run into the remnants of my cam cover, I'll snap a photo. I am heading back into the shop right now to spend the day cleaning...perhaps it will show up.

Reviving an old thread. Here are a couple of original fuel lines for the interest of the purist nut jobs.
With one of them being 1/40 dated, these will be British origin.
