If I wanted to make a fountain pen with a # 8 nib, could I use a kit such as Cambridge, full-size Statesman (any kit that comes with a 6mm nib) and custom make the nib assembly to accomodate the # 8 nib? Or would I have to go full out kitless?
I'm in the learning stages of my new metal lathe and am thinking I could make an adaptor that would thread the nib assembly to the kit threads.
Has anybody had any experience trying this? And where is a good source for the 8mm nib or nib assembly?
