Title: Oberon Class ballast system.
Post by: pettyofficernick on October 27, 2018, 10:28:22 pm

Hi folks. I have been asked by a mate to help him build a WTC and ballast system for the ginormous Oberon class hull he got at Ellesmere Port a couple of years ago. The tube and associated end caps internal structure are easy enough, it is amazing what can be done on a 3D printer. I need to source dive system parts, bladder, pump etc so can anyone recommend a UK supplier as postage from USA is a bit steep. Don't want to get too sophisticated with piston tanks etc as budget is tight. Any guidance would be gratefully recieved.
