[PSUBS-MAILIST] cue ball arm

[hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles]

Thanks' I think this setup would really shine in a K sub.  One cue ball arm on each side of the bow window.  In Gamma it is a bit awkward, the arm is on the front side of the hull.

 Hi
 Hank,
 The cue ball valve looks
 really good.  Excellent find.  I am assuming there is an O
 ring seal in the ball?  
 Also,
 you should really have used a black "8 ball" and
 had the number 8 visible. 
 ;) RegardsJames

 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.
 
  Hank
