I have made around 50 Majestics and almost all of them have the same problem; the cap/clip doesn't sit flush on the tube.
The firs two pictures show the issue. The clip sits on the tube, but it is thicker than the ring that sits on top of it (between the decorative ring and the tube). This inevitably leaves a small gap at the top near where the clip starts. The only way I have found around this is to disassemble the clip assembly and shave down the clip ring with a file.
However, the the second pictures show a different story. I don't know if they are from a different manufacturer, but on these, the ring that fits around the clip is reversed and fits underneath the clip. This allows a perfectly flush fit.
I have tried reversing the ring on the other brand (if they are different) of caps, but they weren't made to do this and fit fit fully down on the threads.
Does anyone know if there is a difference in manufacturer between these two cap types and where to get them so I don't have to file all of my caps before assembly?
