Well, I have finished the pen up tonight. Jeff Powell was nice enough to mail me the smooth nib that I needed to finish off the pen body created from Dawn's black PR. This was very simple to make the lower body as the measurements from the original gave me the length and OD at the centerband. All that was needed was to measure the new nib and bevel the body down to match the nib.
Now the cap was a stroke of genius! I found that the OD of the upper tube from the Olympia kit matched the ID of the original Watermans cap. If you have made that kit, you will know that there is a brass adaptor to fit the 7mm transmission into the larger tube. I simply cut down the brass tube to match the length of the adaptor and pressed it into the Watermans cap. It was a perfect fit without adhesive!
Without further ado, here you are...
