I'm sure like many of you who use the slimlines from PSI I like them because as kits go they are inexpensive and a good way to "make a silk purse" out of a sows ear.
In other words they lend themselves well to experimentation.
The problem I am having is attatching the clip to make a regular slimline into a Euro stle.
I use the PSI kits and the cost is inexpensive enough.I have found a source for a little "hanger bolt" that would screw into the stud that goes into a Euro style tube.(A hanger bolt has coarse thread on one end and machine threads on the other.
You then turn your own
bullet" and screw this into it and them assemble it onto the pen.
THat little hanger bolt goes for $.99 and the little stud that goes into the tube$.05 thus adding the cost of the kit up to almost equal to a regular Euro kit.
I can get an m6 bolt at the hardware store for $.20 retap the stud,epoxy or thick CA it into a scrap and make my own "bullet"
THen you need to get a Euro clip.Again adding the cost to an inexpensive kit.
Here's the question.
Does anyone add a Euro style finial to a slim line using a slimeline clip WITHOUTgluing it?
Whew! that was a long way around the block!
