Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Dome

["Jim Kocourek" <kocpnt@tds.net>]

Hi James,

The hinge is P&O steel and it does look like stainless, but it is not. I 
will be sandblasting and painting mine and I assume that over time it will 
develop rust streaks, but the cost of the SS is really high now.

The seat for the domed window is not started yet because I want to have the 
window in hand before beginning to be sure I have the proper fit.

The only Stainless on my sub will probably be the Hatch pivot pin, the 
retaining rings at windows and fasteners.

This sub will streaching my budget enough as it is, So I am spending my 
money on items that will make it simple to operate on longer missions etc.

Best Regards,

Jim K

Hi Jim.

Pictures look great of your project.  I hadn't seen these before.

It looks like youve used all stainless steel for your hatch hinge assembly?

I've been thinking of changing mine.  I made my hinge assembly already and 
although the bar is SS, the brackets are not.  So i think im going to change 
it to SS like yours as it looks like it will be a source of corrosion 
otherwise where the bar passes through the brackets.

Do you have any pics/ideas for your dome seat?  Have you machined it 
already?

Regards
James

Hi All,

Greg Cottrell has successfully formed my front dome. The picture looks great 
and I am anxious to get it home.

Later today we will discuss machining, annealing and protective dome.

There is a picture at psubs.org/projects

Best Regards,

Jim K
