nib section question.

[Glenn McCullough]

I have not made my own nib section to accept a feed and nib. I know the factory threads them, but when you do, do you thread the interior to accept the feed or is it a pressure fit or something else? If it is a thread, would you know the thread size for a Churchill/Elgrande thread or the tap size?

Threaded, and the size will depend on the feed you are using. I don't know the thread size used on that one but I'm sure someone will.

Go to Classic Nibs website, and click on Taps & Dies. There are directions there as to which threads to use for various of the popular feeds.

I have some heritance nibs and feeds that are 8.4 by .75 for El Grande pens

Looked at the tap and die set
