Hi all
I am getting ready to assemble a triton fountain pen from exotic blanks. I've never put this kit together. Reading the instructions, I have two questions / clarifications for anyone who has put this together.
The first picture is of the center band. The gold piece is suppose to go all the way down, but I'm getting a bit of resistance when trying. Is this common? Should I try to muscle it or should I let the pen press do this when I assemble onto the blank?
The second picture is of a plastic piece that is suppose to go inside the center band. I'm assuming this is supposed to be inserted all the way to the notch? Again getting a bit of resistance and the instructions aren't super clear on this part.
Anything else to watch out for? Thanks!
