I gave her a lesson in chain come along operations and we did a dry run, including tapping the hatch level. I hopped in feeler gauges in my teeth and flashlight in hand, She did a perfect job, rolled the gantry in place lowered and leveld the hatch in place. My angle is off by .004 in , that is not bad for a rookie with limited tooling! tomorrow I will take it down some more with the angle corrected and when my bride returns from work I will test fit again before the final sizing.</span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1452472493266_2961"><span><br></span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1452472493266_2961" dir="ltr"><span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1452472493266_3247">I am sure all sub builders have had there wife help out, I am sure there are some good stories,,,,Brian....</span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1452472493266_2961"><span>Hank</span></div> <div class="qtdSeparateBR"><br><br></div><div class="yahoo_quoted" style="display: block;"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> <div dir="ltr"><font size="2" face="Arial"> On Sunday, January 10, 2016 5:05 PM, hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles@psubs.org> wrote:<br></font></div> <br><br> <div class="y_msg_container"><div id="yiv9677946422"><div><div style="color:#000;background-color:#fff;font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:12px;"><div id="yiv9677946422yui_3_16_0_1_1452470102720_2743"><span>Thanks Alan,</span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yiv9677946422yui_3_16_0_1_1452470102720_2743"><span id="yiv9677946422yui_3_16_0_1_1452470102720_2964">Hey guys I have a tricky situation here. I have lowered the hatch onto the conical seat and it fits nice or at least as far as I can tell. I am alone in this mission so I can not get inside the sphere and place the hatch on the land by myself to determine if the fit is correct from inside. How can I determine if the two angles are fitting perfect? without being inside. I was thinking about plasti gauge for engine rebuilding, it is a little plastic wire that squeezes to a certain thickness for a given gap. </span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yiv9677946422yui_3_16_0_1_1452470102720_2743"><span>Maybe there is a better idea out there.</span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yiv9677946422yui_3_16_0_1_1452470102720_2743">I still have to take the hatch OD down about .050 in so I have wiggle room to adjust the angle if need be.</div><div dir="ltr" id="yiv9677946422yui_3_16_0_1_1452470102720_2743">HELP</div><div dir="ltr" id="yiv9677946422yui_3_16_0_1_1452470102720_2743">Hank</div> <div class="yiv9677946422qtdSeparateBR"><br clear="none"><br clear="none"></div><div class="yiv9677946422yahoo_quoted" style="display:block;"> <div style="font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:12px;"> <div style="font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:16px;"> <div class="yiv9677946422yqt7187819414" id="yiv9677946422yqt61915"><div dir="ltr"><font size="2" face="Arial"> On Sunday, January 10, 2016 3:11 PM, Alan James via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles@psubs.org> wrote:<br clear="none"></font></div> <br clear="none"><br clear="none"> <div class="yiv9677946422y_msg_container"><div id="yiv9677946422"><div><div style="color:#000;background-color:#fff;font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:16px;"><div><span>Thanks for the update Hank,</span></div><div dir="ltr"><span>it's moving along quickly.</span></div><div dir="ltr"><span>Alan</span></div><br clear="none"> <div class="yiv9677946422qtdSeparateBR"><br clear="none"><br clear="none"></div><div class="yiv9677946422yahoo_quoted" style="display:block;"> <div style="font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:16px;"> <div style="font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:16px;"> <div class="yiv9677946422yqt2124154576" id="yiv9677946422yqt39453"><div dir="ltr"> <font size="2" face="Arial"> </font><hr size="1"> <b><span style="font-weight:bold;">From:</span></b> hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles@psubs.org><br clear="none"> <b><span style="font-weight:bold;">To:</span></b> Personal Submersibles General Discussion <personal_submersibles@psubs.org> <br clear="none"> <b><span style="font-weight:bold;">Sent:</span></b> Sunday, January 10, 2016 11:22 AM<br clear="none"> <b><span style="font-weight:bold;">Subject:</span></b> [PSUBS-MAILIST] Fw: flang facing<br clear="none"> </div> <div class="yiv9677946422y_msg_container"><br clear="none"><div id="yiv9677946422"><div><div style="color:#000;background-color:#fff;font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:12px;"><div id="yiv9677946422yui_3_16_0_1_1452378121180_3283"><span></span></div><div class="yiv9677946422qtdSeparateBR" id="yiv9677946422yui_3_16_0_1_1452378121180_3247">New video</div><div class="yiv9677946422qtdSeparateBR" id="yiv9677946422yui_3_16_0_1_1452378121180_3247">Hank<br clear="none"><br clear="none"></div> <div class="yiv9677946422yahoo_quoted" id="yiv9677946422yui_3_16_0_1_1452378121180_3314" style="display:block;"> <div id="yiv9677946422yui_3_16_0_1_1452378121180_3313" style="font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:12px;"> <div id="yiv9677946422yui_3_16_0_1_1452378121180_3312" style="font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:16px;"> <div dir="ltr" id="yiv9677946422yui_3_16_0_1_1452378121180_3311"><font id="yiv9677946422yui_3_16_0_1_1452378121180_3310" size="2" face="Arial"> On Saturday, January 9, 2016 3:21 PM, xxx xxxxx <mp13@live.ca> wrote:<br clear="none"></font></div> <br clear="none"><br clear="none"> <div class="yiv9677946422y_msg_container" id="yiv9677946422yui_3_16_0_1_1452378121180_3317"><div id="yiv9677946422">
