As I have been taling the kitleaa journey, it just doesnt seem right to put a kit harvested clip on my first kitless pen. So, I've neel looking through past threads for clip ideas.
I think a good place to start is a bent wire clip. I've seem examples of brass and SS. I know I can get brass rod easily, but brass is not the right color for this pen.
I dont know where to get SS wire or rod locally (perfer local becasue I dont want to buy enough that shipping costs make sense). Also, I'm uncertain about the workability (bendability) of SS.
So, here are the question:
Will aluminum wire/rod work, or is it too soft? (I have a local source for it)
Where type of place would be a good place to look for SS wire/rod?
What are the ins & outs of effectively bending the rod? - espectally SS rod.
Thanks
