Alan,<br>
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.<br>

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

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