I bought 5 titanium gold gent kits a few weeks ago and decided to turn one as a closed end pen tonite. When I got to the easy part, (fitting the finial/clip onto the top tube I could not get the clip to fit. It was just too small. Well, I opened all 5 kits and none of the clips fit any of the finials. I tried to use a deburring tool and a small file to enlarge the opening on the clip. I got it to barely go onto the finial and decide I might be able to make it work by assembling the top tube. (I do it on the lathe with some delrin gizmos I got somewhere). It cracked the sleeve so I gave up.
Im gonna call the supplier in the morning and see what they say. Just wanted to find out if anyone else has had this problem with this kit or others. I've gotten a few defective kits but this is the first time for a 5 for 5 failure.
What do you guys think.
