Some of you may recall the recent group buy conducted by Bill Jackman. Bill found a source for the Kaweco ink roller that was shown recently by TxBob in this thread:
http://www.penturners.org/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=15928
TxBob's conversion involved making a pen to fit the Kaweco ink roller parts.
In this conversion, I have modified the Kaweco parts to fit some of the pen kits we commonly uses. This conversion can be used with the Jr Gent versions 1 & 2, Junior Emperor/Baron/Navigator pens, the Panache and possibably others. It can be done when the pen is made or as in this example as a retrofit to an existing pen.
The mod involves a small adjustment to the feeder housing.
The first picture shows conventional fountain pen setups in the background and the ink roller conversion in the front.

The second picture show the retrofit of the ink roller mod to a pen made several month ago.

It will be interesting to view some of the other mods made using the Kaweco parts.
