Havana Roller Ball Replacement?

[sandking]

Does anyone know of a pen that is similar to the Havana Roller Ball? I know Craft Supply stopped carrying it, but I never got a chance to buy one and I'd like to make one. I know many mfgs/dist carry similar pens under different names.

Does Arizona have something?

I don't know of anyone that carries a copycat of the havana.
I tried to find one kit in each style when i realised they have been discontinued. I found the plat. and 10k Havana rollerballs, but have not been able to get the little Havanas.
CSUSA has several pen styles that are exclusive to them.

What's the difference between the Little Havana and the Havana?

The El Toro (distributed by www.arizonasilhouette.com) is a very similar looking pen. Check out the El Toro and the Little Havana (lower)

Yep that would be the Havana and Little Havana all right.
Thanks Lou,

Berea's El Presidente is the same as the Havana rollerball, even the bushings are the same, but the clip is different. Anthony likes the El Toro/El Presidente clip, but I have to prefer the Havana clip because it isn't nearly as stiff.

The 'Little' is very short.

I just tried to use the Havana bushings on the El Presidente and the upper bushings are different. They will not fit in the tube. Then El Presidente appears to have a smaller inside diameter on the tube.

The Havana ball point uses different bushings that the rollerball. Yes, I'm willing to trade. What do you have in mind? Pen kits, wood, something else?
