I had to change the angle of the seat a couple of times to get it perfect and did not want to mess with the o-ring groove. Patience is key and some more experience would be nice. </span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1491684920811_5107"><span>Hank</span></div> <div class="qtdSeparateBR"><br><br></div><div class="yahoo_quoted" style="display: block;"> <div style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> <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 Saturday, April 8, 2017 2:37 PM, Brian Cox via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles@psubs.org> wrote:<br></font></div> <br><br> <div class="y_msg_container"><div id="yiv3373408884"><div><div style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;"><div>Hank, Ya I did weld a smaller diameter pipe on to the end cap, but with my 3 jaw chuck I couldn't get it exactly centered.</div><div> </div><div>Brian<br clear="none"><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] Motor Pod<br clear="none">Date: Sat, 8 Apr 2017 19:14:52 +0000 (UTC)<br clear="none"><br clear="none"></div><div class="yiv3373408884yqt0041428244" id="yiv3373408884yqt90862"><div style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);"><div><span>Brian,</span></div><div dir="ltr">I think you will have a very smooth and reliable motor there.

Did a pressure test up to 10psi , still waiting on the silicone oil . But it ran really smooth, had a bit of trouble when I machined the end caps, they weren't totally perfect, think I'll have the machine shop make a stab at it . There were difficult to line up in my lathe and they were literally at the very maximum size my lathe could do. But all my snap rings and o rings and epoxy thru hulls are good to go !</div><div> </div><div>Pics:</div></div></div>_______________________________________________<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>_______________________________________________
