I've lost my Triton fountain pen bushings. Is there an alternate bushing that I can use? JR Statesman?

Hi Darrell. The tubes are the same as the jr tubes: 10.5mm and 12.5mm. Not sure about the actual pen diameters. The IAP tubes and bushings app will help. The bushing set is the 30A from Berea.
We need to catch up.
Do a good turn daily!

As John noted, the Triton calls for Berea bushings 30A which are .567/.460/.567 for the upper & and .513/.367/.481 for the lower.
Atrax & Atracia by Berea and Continental & Kojent by Woodcraft all use the same size bushings.
Most of the Jr series RB/FP use the same size upper bushings & some use lower bushings that are close enough, but not all. Some are only .001 different, but some are more than that.
If you have some Jr bushings, use calipers to check the bushings to see if they are close enough (especially the lower bushing).

Thank you Don and Edgar for your help. I'll use the Jr statesman and calipers to make the triton pen.

That one should work. Top bushing is the same as 30A, bottom is .512/.367/.480
