Hi again,
Was going to put this in the Slim Line comp, but figured that I would get more satisfaction showing how I did it here.
Russ, in your thread you said the Joint needs to be straight for the tranny, This is of course true, but the joint can be next to the nib. This leaves the whole body to have the angle you wanted.
I can see two ways to mod the refill. One, like I've shown, or two, by making a threaded extension tube from the tranny to the stock refill. This is Olivewood and I tried to 'stabilize' the vulnerable end near the nib with loads of CA, before turning.
The tranny and nib are fixed together with the shortest possible length tube. It is easy to rotate the tip out, but you need a good grip on the nib to change the refill.
Hope this helps anyone
