Then drill a hole through it and machine that hole to 5\8 with an 0-ring groove for the 5\8 hollow shaft that slides through the ball. Then you make up ends for the 5\8 hollow shaft with o-rings to seal the inside shaft. You end up with two shafts that slide in and out and rotate.</span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1474334070452_3054"><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 Monday, September 19, 2016 9:02 AM, Brian Cox via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles@psubs.org> wrote:<br></font></div> <br><br> <div class="y_msg_container"><div id="yiv3961367655"><div><div style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;"><div>Thanks Hank, when I get a little further along I would be interested in that.

I actually made a Q ball arm socket one time from a ss ball valve, the billiard ball fit it perfectly. I also was going to experiment with making a metal socket without the hassle of machining the curvature to fit the ball. I thought about making the socket with a square seat and pour in high compression casting resin-using the ball for the mould. So essentially your making a ball valve plastic seat. Just some thoughts.</div><div>Hank</div></div></div>_______________________________________________
