Frank,
I highly recommend using
removable SS bulkheads that seal with an o ring. That way if you need a new
penetrator you just drill and tap a new hole in it, and when you run out of
space or are making a wholesale redesign you just make yourself a new plate
without needing to weld or paint.
thanks,
Alec

I'm still building so a standard plug would work for me. Guys who have
finished subs may not want to trash their epoxy paint job to weld in a new one.
Let's ask everyone if and what type of penetrator they have that could be used
as is or converted to this purpose.
