The way you have it the air will burp out and it will be messy to fill. Pins should always be tight or they will wear. Four pins will be a bugger to drill and fit precisely. If you go with the rear bearing you only need one pin that is a bit bigger. Machining a bearing seat is easy with one pin to hold it. Or you can eliminate the rear bearing if the motor is tight in the housing.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym18_1_1459512979126_4182" dir="ltr">Hank</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 Friday, April 1, 2016 3:05 AM, Alan James via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles@psubs.org> wrote:<br></font></div> <br><br> <div class="y_msg_container"><div id="yiv2336736580"><div><div style="color:#000;background-color:#fff;font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:16px;"><div> Updated version with Hanks suggestion of a channel direct</div><div dir="ltr">to the motor cavity.</div><div dir="ltr">I have also added a bearing at the wiring end of the motor shaft.</div><div id="yiv2336736580yui_3_16_0_ym18_1_1459500900511_2751" dir="ltr">I am not sure about this.
