BB had these on sale a few weeks ago and I wanted some smaller fountain pens and rollerballs in my inventory so I bought some. Finally getting around to working on them and I'm beginning to think these are not up to Berea's standards. The instructions say the bushings are identical, absolutely incorrect. Two of the bushings measure .451 which matches the parts. The CB bushing matches the diameter of the CB. The problem is the finial and the clip. The finial measures .444 and the bushing measures .437. The finial has a threaded stud and looks identical to the finial for the 8mm Euro ballpoint. The stud measures .171, but the hole in the clip is a whopping .348 and there is absolutely nothing to keep the clip in place. The OD of the clip ring measures .450. Has anyone made these? Did I get defective bushings or finials or clips?
