[PSUBS-MAILIST] cue ball arm

[Alan James via Personal_Submersibles]

That sounds really promising Hank.Look forward to hearing how the in water tests go.Looks like you could separate the front plate & weld it to outside of the hullthen bolt it all together from the inside.How are you attaching it?Alan

Alan,
The picture is deceiving, the valve body is only about 5/8 inch longer at each end of the valve body.  The arm will have quite good range, admittedly not as much as the original. I put the assembly on the sub and the arm will travel through its full range no problem.  I think the slight reduction in range is well worth it.  This system is very cheap and easy to put together, also the original has a single o-ring seal at the equator of the cue ball.  The valve has two seals.

 The body
 of that valve looks quite deep Hank.http://www.psubs.org/projects/1327775450/gammarestoration/
 You
 won't get much angle of movement with it; or are you
 goingto
 cut it down some how?You could
 posssibly keep that top plate & bolt it to the inside of
 the hullalong with
 the bearing surface on that side, & throw away the
 rest.You would
 need some way of holding the cue ball in place from the out
 side.Perhaps
 cast some resin to hold it in. There won't be much
 pressure from the inside out.Alan

 Alan,
 I posted a picture of the
 cue ball assembly ready to bolt onto Gamma.  The valve
 assembly is mounted to the original cover plate.  The pic
 is under Gamma Restoration.
