I have a friend and long-time customer who brought me this old Papermate that belonged to his dad, and now is his. It's obviously well used and carries an enormous amount of sentimental value.
I tried to find a similar Papermate to (hopefully) rob the parts from... no luck. So I think I'm stuck custom making this part.
The plastic threads are shot on the lower end. The brass (or brass-looking) threads on the upper end are pretty good.
I went to Lowes to see if I could find the thread/pitch, and it's very close to an M7X1.0, but a bolt with that thread cut tends to start for several turns and then seize up, almost as if the brass threads taper in diameter.
Any suggestions?
(the "hair" is fuzz picked up by the duct-tape quick fix he was using... I promise the pen doesn't have pubes)
