Mystery bushings driving me nuts!

[jskeen]

I ran across this set of apparently brand new bushings while organizing the rest of them and have no idea what they go to. I tried looking at Joe's bushing database program with no luck, and tried them against all the kits and bushings that I have, and came up blank. They are for a pen that uses the 10mm cigar size tubes, but are way smaller than cigar bushings, and they DO NOT fit the screw cap euro or FTA tubes (too large) (even though they are listed as using a 10mm drill bit)

Measurements are top 0.490, large center 0.494 small center 0.442 and small end 0.442 and the tube section is 0.357.

Any help Id'ing these things would be most appreciated.

Are the two in the middle one bushing? If so, I think you can narrow it down to a PSI kit. All Berea bushing I have ever received have been black so that eliminate them, I think. All CSUSA bushing have been the color of yours but I have never had any come with the middle busings made together. I think PSI is the only one that does that.

Then again, I may be complety wrong since I have not done nearly as many different kits as some on here so take it waith a grain of salt!

The Center is indeed a single bushing. But, I have never, to my knowledge, ordered kits or bushings from psi In about a year and a half, I have ordered from Bill at AS, direct from berea in a group buy, CSUSA, and locally at woodcraft. I"m totally befuzled now!

I think some of Woodcraft's bushing come with the center as one piece. Like I said, I may be wrong but that is what I recall.

James I think what you have is the Classic Fountain/rollerball from PSI. The measurements of mine match those you posted.

I don't know the measurements of my bushings, but the ones you show look a lot like the ones I use for my Classic American Rollerball and Fountain Pens from Woodcrack (Woodcraft)

Hi
The Bushings shown in the pic are for the Classic Roller/Fountain from PSI. The measurements are the same on the ones i have.

It looks like the European twist pen bushings that I use on my Euro's.. the fat side of the center bushing is for the cap where the center band goes...

Why worry about it? You obviously don't need them. And if used on wrong kit, you have wasted time and money. Throw away. Problem solved.

James:

I took a look through my bushing chart and found only the following that aer even close:

CSUSA-Americana FP & RB
0.358/0.456/0.491/0.358

Woodcraft-Classic American Screwcap FP & RB
0.350/0.448/0.488/0.350

Neither of these bushings seem to be what you have so these may be two kits you can eliminate from the list.

Just out of curiosity, I looked up bushings on PSI site.. found this page of bushings..
one of them may be yours??
