The kit is basically a Jr Gent 1 from CSUSA.

Yes, the bushings and the tubes are the same size.
Did you find the info in the library for the CSUSA Jr Gent 1 pen kit?

Yes, I did, but it would still be nice to have some actual measurements for the Caballero.
There are some discrepancies between the CSUSA data in the Oct2015 Library table, and the original data in the 2010 table .... a difference of 0.1" in tube length, for example.
I'll assume the more recent data is correct for the Caballero.
I'd still like to get the actual measurements for the Caballero. I'll ask Smitty if he doesn't see this thread.

Smitty might be a good place to get information on the Caballero since he is the only source for them.
I don't think either CSUSA or I will go out on a limb and say that all SPW Caballero parts are interchangeable with their Apprentice Jr Gentleman's pen kit. Particularly threaded parts.
I don't know that Jr Gent 1 (Apprentice Jr Gentleman's pen kit) from CSUSA use identical tubes as the SPW Caballero.
The nominal length of the larger diameter SPW Caballero tube is 1.81 in and the smaller diameter is 2.12 in.
Either 15/32 or 12mm work for the larger drill bit and 25/64th or 10mm work for the smaller. The bushing sets are not exactly identical but close enough to use them interchangeably.
Actually it is not. There are a number of differences that are not necessarily visible made when I changed the name from Jr Gent 1 to Caballero. I don't think they come from the same source either but I'm not 100% certain about that.
Thank you, Smitty, for responding.
I'd still appreciate knowing the measured diameter (outer) of the Caballero bushings, please.
I should have asked you in the first place but I thought there are enough people using the Cab that someone would give me the numbers

Cap = .536 and .536. Barrel = Nib end..479 Center band end .460. Nominal. I have not measured them myself. My opinion is that since the trim rings on the couplers are interchangeable that the bushings for the smaller tube are probably the same size or really close....probably closer than the nominal measurements.
