Hatch

24/06/08

I originally made the hinge bracket out of mild steel here.  But I changed my mind.  As my sub will be used in the sea, any parts exposed to repeated wear (such as the bar and hole in the hinge bracket) will rub off any paint and not be protected from corrosion.  So here it is made again from 316L stainless steel.

 Its ready here to be welded in place, then I’ll attach the hatch bars, also from stainless.
