[PSUBS-MAILIST] Fw: flang facing

[Alan James via Personal_Submersibles]

Glad you got your wife on board Hank.I was thinking of how tapers are used to hold tooling in & wondered
If you got inside & the hatch jammed would you have air?

 Okay, No problem, I told my wife what I was up against and she insisted she could manage it.  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.
I am sure all sub builders have had there wife help out, I am sure there are some good stories,,,,Brian....Hank

 Thanks Alan,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.  Maybe there is a better idea out there.I still have to take the hatch OD down about .050 in so I have wiggle room to adjust the angle if need be.HELPHank
