Originally, that was all one piece with pockets for the spring between the inner outer rings and a pocket for the small metal plate in the middle in the inner part of the ring. I used to replace them on mine when I could still get the originals from Sunbeam.

Thanks Tom
That explains part of the problem I had getting the old one off.
As it was coming loose, it looked the way you described.
Here a pic of the new gasket. I thought the secondary gasket was Bakelite until it started coming apart!

If u post some pics maybe I'll remember.

Fix for Sunbeam C30 gasket
Hi, new member here.
Re: Sunbeam c30 gasket
I thought to myself that perhaps the (very) hard gasket could be sanded down a little so it would fit. I had nothing to lose because I was planning on ordering a replacement at dayseal.net. Anyway, it can be done because I just did it. You can fix this problem for the cost of a sheet of sandpaper. I removed the gasket by unscrewing the inverted spout under the upper pot that acts as a retainer for the gasket. I dry sanded (though I now recommend wet sanding because the black dust it produces gets messy) it by grasping the gasket with the sandpaper and repeatedly twisting the gasket to slowly reduce the part of the gasket that comes in contact with the lower pot. It took a while of sanding, slowly removing material and incrementally reducing the diameter. I checked the fit on the lower pot frequently. I stopped when I could get the gasket to fit, but very snugly. You want to stop when it fits, but very tightly because it does still need to enable a vacuum to draw the coffee down. The taper of the gasket aids with this sealing so your sanding does not need to be super precise. Just sand it enough so it will go on. Got it? Very easy! Super cheap! Does require a little "elbow grease", okay?
