Exactly where would one get stiffeners? If I had to get them made at the machine shop what would be a reasonable price for a product like that?
Snoopy is a K-250, not a K-350. The two designs have different stiffeners; the
250 uses an L section and the 350 uses a T. The T is not only stronger, it is
also easier to fabricate. So if I were building any sub I would recommend T
stiffeners.

Subject: [PSUBS-MAILIST] K-350 Reinforcing Rings
Hi All.
Quick question regarding K-350 reinforcing rings.
Finally i've managed to get somewhere with ordering all my K-350 parts. I have
a company in the UK that have given me a quote and been very helpfull.
http://www.air-receivers.co.uk. £2550 for all the basic parts, which is
suprisingly well within my budget, and another company here in Guernsey Channel
Islands that i'm waiting for a final quote.
Before i place my order though, i wanted to ask about reinforcing ring design.
The plans show a "T" bar shape welded to the hull at the bottom of the T.
However i watched the PSUBS convention talk by Dan H when he built "Snoopy" and
he used a diferent shape and most subs that ive seen all seem to have square "n"
shaped bar.
Are any of these other shapes better/safer? Or shall i just stick rigidly to
the design?
Thanks all.
James
