Oxford Ball Point Pen [Help]

[Bozz]

If any one has the dimensions of Woodcraft bushing #06R07 I would appreciate a post. I'm going to make my own bushings out of aluminum and need the specs: Large Diamter; Small Diameter; and Tube Lip Diameter needed.

This kit uses three identical bushings. Any help is appreciated. By the way, I am making an Oxford Ball Point Pen #129854 from Woodcraft:

Thank you,

Measure the outside diameter hardware that fits against the wood and the inside diameter of the tube and those will be the dimensions that you need.

The best I can measure on mine, that have been used about 6 times. ia Lip0.287 small end 0.390 and large end 0.489

Tube lip= 0.288
Large dia=0.493
small dia=0.396
tube lip= 0.288
All measurements taken from left to right as per your drawing.
Hollar if your need more help.

Stan, Reed and Tom,
Thanks for everyones input. Stan, I measured the parts and compared them with the caliper readings from Reed and Tom. Reed and Tom, your measurements were right on the money. They matched up to the kit perfectly [you guys must have collaborated]. Thanks, everyone for your efforts, it really is appreciated. The IAP is a wonderful thing!
