I tried to reply before but for some reason my email is giving me grief (in fact I've sent 5 messages to the psubs list and have only seen 2 of them show up). I've attached pictures of my sub to 2 of them and I'm now thinking that may have been at least part of the issue (based on something I just read on the psubs website). </div><div>Other than an arc welder, cutting torch and cut off wheel, I have few tools for working with steel myself but my nephew in Texas has access to everything in a modern machine shop (he can even print parts and do CNC in 4 axis!). Thank you (and everyone else) for your advice! Hearing how others have done things or suggestions to consider will no doubt pay off for me as I work on these final details. I'll try and upload pictures soon to give you an idea of what my sub looks like. For now, just imagine something like a K250 on steroids.</div><div>God bless, Jim</div><div id="yahoo_quoted_6118171466" class="yahoo_quoted">

I did upgrade my pump housing to accept a mechanical seal to maintain my 1,000 foot depth rating. You can stick with the inexpensive spring loaded mechanical seal. If you have a lathe etc, then this may not be worth pursuing.</div><div>Hank</div><div id="yiv9926111009ydpef720b5yahoo_quoted_5611110768" class="yiv9926111009ydpef720b5yahoo_quoted">
