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><DIV><BR>--- personal_submersibles@psubs.org wrote:<BR><BR>From: hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles@psubs.org><BR>To: Personal Submersibles General Discussion <personal_submersibles@psubs.org><BR>Subject: Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] more progress<BR>Date: Sun, 16 Oct 2016 08:44:58 +0000 (UTC)<BR><BR></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. Can i make a suggestion? I can't see inside the hopper, so I </SPAN>can't see if there is extra material around the bolts. 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><BR></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></FONT></DIV> <BR><BR> <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>_______________________________________________<BR>Personal_Submersibles mailing list<BR><A href="mailto:Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org">Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org</A><BR><A href="http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles">http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles</A><BR><BR><BR></DIV> </DIV> </DIV> </DIV></DIV></DIV>_______________________________________________
