But once I got it all cinched up and tight I was amazed at the strength of the whole thing, I will definitely be putting some washers in there . Having to drill that stainless was a bitch ! I could weld some heavy duty washers in there or a piece of 1/4" flat bar with holes for the bolts for good measure. I actually made a fiber-glass mold of the kettle and first cut away on that before taking the grinder to the kettle itself. </div><div> </div><div>Brian </div><div> </div><div> </div><div class="yiv9300942957yqt6982418502" id="yiv9300942957yqt48121"><div><br clear="none">--- personal_submersibles@psubs.org wrote:<br clear="none"><br clear="none">From: hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles@psubs.org><br clear="none">To: Personal Submersibles General Discussion <personal_submersibles@psubs.org><br clear="none">Subject: Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] more progress<br clear="none">Date: Sun, 16 Oct 2016 08:44:58 +0000 (UTC)<br clear="none"><br clear="none"></div><div style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:12px;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);"><div><span>Brian,</span></div><div><span>That must have been a treat to get it to fit just right.

I think you should weld some extra material to the hopper where the bolts go through. All the load will be on a small area and the bolts could tear out when the sub starts heaving. </div><div>Hank</div> <div><br clear="none"><br clear="none"></div><div 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 face="Arial" size="2"> On Saturday, October 15, 2016 9:44 PM, Brian Cox via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles@psubs.org> wrote:<br clear="none"></font></div> <br clear="none"><br clear="none"> <div><div><div style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;"><div>Hi All,</div><div> Here are some pics of my emergency drop weight hopper for the lead ball release:</div><div> </div><div> </div></div></div><br clear="none">_______________________________________________<br clear="none">Personal_Submersibles mailing list<br clear="none"><a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org" target="_blank" href="mailto:Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org">Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org</a><br clear="none"><a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" target="_blank" href="http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles">http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles</a><br clear="none"><br clear="none"><br clear="none"></div> </div> </div> </div></div></div>_______________________________________________
