Pentel LR7 Style Kits

[QuietHill Crafts]

Had a client looking for a pen in the style of his plastic Pentel needle-point pen. Did some digging and found that the refills are available however, no mention of a kit that I can find. Has anyone ever done a conversion, or know of a kit that this refill will fit in - all I find are Parker or Cross styles mentioned.

(Disregard - I have found the info)

Knurl GT Rollerball Conversion

The request was for a Knurl GT that used a Pentel Rollerball refill the customer liked to use in her nursing job. The conversion ended up being pretty simple. First: replace the stock 3/8 tube with one cut to a length of 3.5 inches. Second: turn and assemble pen as normal replacing the stock...

For anyone else looking at this thread and wondering, I bought a set of Pentel LR7 (Energel) refills recently to test the fit in rollerball pens. They are pretty much the same as the Pilot Precise, which is also the same length as the G2. The G2 will fit in a rollerball, but the tip doesn't extend as far as a rollerball cartridge on some kits because of the slightly different shoulder shape. I find the Precise is compatible with more rollerballs than the G2. They just look really weird with the needle tip. I've been journaling with one of them and they do write very well.

I might just have to try that.

I've used them in a number of rollerball kits, Cabellero's and some Jr's. My wife had one of the pentel engergel pens which she liked since it seemed to always write. They do look pretty strange with the needle like tip. They are also available in various if you want a smaller nib.
