Just made my 1st Patriot pen. The way that the "clip and the cap" fit terribly. There is a small gap caused by the "mechanism Coupler" per there instructions. Anybody have a "fix" for that?
I think you may find the Gatsby to be just a bit different.:wink:Yeah Polaris, Atlas, Gatsby, Patriot, all the same kit. I have done a few of them and never an issue. I normally leave a very tiny gap when pushing the cap on so it doesn't seem to rub against the coupler. Can you maybe take a picture of what you are seeing?
Sorry Wolf, I am probably thinking of the Carbara or whatever other weird name Rockler sells other than just the Patriot. The gatsby is probably the WS one. I get the names confused sometimes due to how they change them around from place to place and even sometimes the same place LMAO. Silly vendors, stick with 1 name lol.I think you may find the Gatsby to be just a bit different.:wink:
Just reread the instructions for the umteenth time and yes the clip goes under the coupler mechanism. Now I'll try to figure out how to take it apart. Hope I don't ruin it. Thanks for the responses.
Gatsby is similar to Sierra not PolarisI think you may find the Gatsby to be just a bit different.:wink:
That's what I figured, having done it myself. Once. Loooong looong ago.
I did that on my very first Polaris. The reason for my gap and that the clip didn't seem to fit at all...., I totally missed the step/fact that it was to go on the pen (against) the blank before the transmission. Darned thing just wouldn't seat right. :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:
That was my first clipless Polaris. I decided I like the look and ended up keeping it as a pocket pen.
