I'm with you Bart; five poofteenths of an inch divided by three with a half twist and a nat's knacker over sixty four = 2.75mm so simple!

Quick work, sir. Tell me how you're going to compartment your WTC/SD.Originally posted by Albion
And I like your below waterline break-up of color. Tell us something about the technique you employed. Good looking model there!

Good luck with the car. And I love the 'bread-board'. Any port in a storm, as they say.
Your WTC is coming around nicely. Yes: measure twice, cut once. Good policy.
Good stuff, sir!

The drip trays round the edge, have the advantage of holding cylinders in place while you are working on other parts ;)Next time someone points out it takes 42 muscles to frown, point out it will only take 4 muscles to b1tch slap them if they tell you how mnay muscles you need to smile:popComment

Slow work over weekend , but got the wtc cradles fixed in place. Also made new snort pipe which is hidden in mast. Lastly fired up the Rx and started checking servos. Annoyingly the vent servo which is now tucked inside the tube is NFG. Need to see if I can install a new one without disturbing the bulk head.

You can swap out that servo without need of pulling the after ballast bulkhead. You'll need a very long hemostat. remove the two wheel-collars on the wet side of the pushrod; remove the dry-side servo bracket; grasp the servo with the hemostat and yank the entire unit out; replace.

Managed to get it out without disturbing pushrods. New one installed and working. I must have been a ginocologyst in a past life. Next job is soldering the wiring loom, air pump controller etc etc.Next time someone points out it takes 42 muscles to frown, point out it will only take 4 muscles to b1tch slap them if they tell you how mnay muscles you need to smile:popComment

This is a pure SNORT non SAS?Make it simple, make strong, make it work!Comment

Yes, Happy Father's day!
Albion, you used silicon as your seal on the black bulkhead. May I ask why you did not use a o-ring? or was it more an issue of convenience?If you can cut, drill, saw, hit things and swear a lot, you're well on the way to building a working model sub.Comment

If the o-ring groove is a bit shallow for existing o-rings, then you might might find you can use another size. e.g. you can swap imperial for metric o-rings and vice versa. Gives a bit of wiggle room.
Silicone rubber o-rings also squish down a bit easier than nitrile/buna-n, but have greater tensile and shear strength than silicone caulking, which has all the strength of wet pasta.Comment

There's no forces on the silicone, and the o ring section is already pretty small. Let's see how it goesNext time someone points out it takes 42 muscles to frown, point out it will only take 4 muscles to b1tch slap them if they tell you how mnay muscles you need to smile:popComment

No criticism, laziness is perfectly acceptable. I had repaired an old wtc from a well known submarine pioneer here in the USA and he also used silicon to fill the gasket space. It worked well for him!If you can cut, drill, saw, hit things and swear a lot, you're well on the way to building a working model sub.Comment

Simply bearings is good for small oil seals. they have a couple that may do the trick, on at 0.18" and one at 0.188". So a bit under or a bit over.
