Hi,
I was wondering if I have been missing something or just suddenly realizing something regarding gold nibs.
I think the issue for me is the thickness of the gold nibs vs that of the steel nibs.
I recently have been upgrading some clients pens from steel to gold nibs. One pen is a Gentlemens pen and another is an El Toro, in both cases while I have found that the steel nib is firmly held in place when assembled but when I replace the nib with a gold one they are very loose, flex and slide side to side and can be pulled out with a very light pull.
Any ideas on how I can correct this or what I am doing wrong would be appreciated.
Thanks
