To someone who’s never seen this before, it is so, so interesting. Thank you very much for clarifying! [and for email]

Anytime sir!

So i made a couple of short videos (in order top to bottom) to better illustrate the process of making the gears i made up for the Blueback/and a friend. Enjoy!

Had a buddy ask about an alternative to the bellows seals for the OTW endcap/bulkheads and specifically asked about the packing gland seals i use. I'll post some pictures of it later but i made a packing gland like i use for my bulkheads with a 6MM thread so it can be adapted into the OTW end caps. I'll send it to him and will see how it works out.

Here's the fitting for OTW control rod replacements, I just have to cut off and put male thread for 6MM 1.0 so it can be installed onto the OTW end caps. I'll put a washer with a second ring as well for redundancy within the fitting. I'll add picture later when I get the rest completed.

I made the adapter out of stainless, machined flats on either side to help with installing with a small adjustable. The internal thread is 1/4-28 for the gland and the male, 6mm-1.00 to match the OTW end cap. I added a #1 brass washer and second ring for redundancy. I'll send the prototype to my buddy tomorrow and if it works for him, I'll make a few more.
