flat top black titanium fountain pen kit?

[diver123]

I am looking for a flat top fountain in black titanium like the one berea sells. The only problem is I dont want to get a "B" size mandrel just to turn one pen. The ball point is a normal 7mm mandrel so why not the fountain? Anyone got a solution? Thanks

I would just get the B mandrel as there are other kits that use the B mandrel...

Buy your bushings at Woodcraft. They sell Berea products, but all of their bushings fit the A mandrel.

Get a 60 degree dead and live center from Johnny and pick up a good dial caliper from your local pawn shop. Then you can make whatever kit you like and not worry about bushings at all

Or keep it local. Buy your kit and bushings from Ernie at Beartooth Woods. All his bushings fit the A mandrel.
