Spring for the Jr Gent II and the like?

[TonyL]

Hi Folks:

I don't think it does, but is the Jr Gent II kit (Rollerball) supposed to come with a spring? If so, would the spring be place on the point side or on top of the refill like is done for many RB kits?

Thank you.

Hey Tony,
It does, behind the refill inside the end cap. It's typically already placed inside the end cap with the kit packaging not loose so many of the ballpoint kits.

Just made one tonight. It came pre-installed in the top of the end cap.

all rollerballs have a spring. I've not run across an exception to that yet in pen kits.

And they always go behind the refill.

Once you put the pen together you will see.

I just made one too...now that there's possibly two springs in there LOL. I will check. Thx!

I'd be darn. Now you know why I use that 10x LED. LOL. I pulled the one I put in out. Thx!

While you are reading...is there a JR Gent II type (uses the same bushings...although not a must) that has metal threads?

Metal inside or outside?

Most are metal male and plastic female.

Metal all around.
