Ink cartridges

[warthog]

I have some pen kits from PSI...and on the twist pens, I am having trouble getting the ink cartridge to come out further than it does. Right now it only comes out about...maybe a 32nd of an inch if that. I did everything it said to do...but it still will not come out very far. What am I doing wrong?

Is the transmission twisting? Are they Slimlines? May need to press the Transmission in further.

Sometimes the hole in the nose cone is a little too small. See if the refill will go through with the part off. If not, for parker refills, chase the hole with a #39 bit. For cross, #48 bit should work.

The ink cartridge fits through the hole in the nib. I guess what I need to do is dismantle the pen and take some of the cylinder down. Oh fun.

what style?

What style kits are they?

One is a Longwood pen kit from PSI and the other one is Ameroclassic pen kit from HUT...it has the filigree that goes on the upper barrel.

longwood

On the longwood you can seat the transmission a little deeper. I'm not familiar with the other one.
