I have not seen any discussion of this little bugger since the kit was first introduced a while ago so I thought I would see if I had missed any updated info on it.
Problem with the extension is that it does not fit the Parker brand refill properly.....or at least it didn't used to. The plastic piece on the end of the Parker refill is slightly different than the same piece on all of the clone Parker refills I have seen. On the clones, the hole in the end of the piece is molded all the way though the piece and the little tit on the end of the extension fits into it perfectly. On the Parker brand refills that I have seen, however, that little hole is not a hole; but rather just a dimple and the little extension tit will not fit into it properly.
There are several ways to deal with problem....none exactly 100% ideal, IMO. Anyone know if Berea has done anything about this situation or must we continue to have to work around this minor annoyance??
