First off i want to thank Ed from exotic Blanks.
I order the kit and bushing from ed.
I glued the tube in and after it set up went and but the bushing in to mount it on the mandrel and they felt a little loose.
I looked around trying to find the dimension of the bushing and tube and could not find them.
I ended up calling Ed to see if i could get the dimension of the bushing, i was thinking possibly I got a bad set of bushing.
Explained it to Ed Told him I order the Bushing 53A and they where lose.Ed said that they took 57a.
Well I order the wrong ones they are supposed to be 57A.
Asked Ed if I could get the dimension and I will see i could make a set.
Not the prettiest things in the world, but i did get them made and pretty close to size.

and I was able to make the pen.




I did have problems with the ink cartridge sticking in the nib, I took a small file inside and seems to help.
Again thanks ED for your help and i'll have another order in next week.
