Does Jr. Gent cross with penache??

[ed4copies]

A recent conversation has led to the question.

First aspect, are all penache created equal?? Is there more than one set of measurements for the tubes for this pen? (I have made two, many years ago---can't find them)

Second aspect, could you use the penache lower tube (smaller diameter) to make a Junior Gent series??

Perhaps the place to start is to post here the inside diameter of the penache tubes you may have and where you purchased your kit (or, if you know for certain, who MADE the kit).

Any feedback will be appreciated!!

According to the chart in the library (http://content.penturners.org/library/general_reference/bushingsandtubes.pdf) neither of the Panache tubes are the same length as the Jrs. but they have the same IDs.

Thanks John!!

That information is over 3 years old and I am certain there are more vendors for the penache now than there were, then.

I hope we find that all penache use the same size tubes---but that is one of the reasons for this thread!!
