OK, this will take some explaining so ...sorry.
I have made several Sierra click pens, all from the same supplier. The platings are...1) Black Ti/Gold Ti, and 2) Black Ti/Plat.
So today I needed to install an 'upgrade' refill.... after a trip to Staples I came home with several refills in extra fine, fine, medium.
On fitting these refills I found they don't fit the Black Ti/Plat Sierra. The cartridge does not fit into the 'nib' section. Now, according to the instructions on the vendors website that refill will fit.
So... I tried a different pen, this time a Black Ti/Gold Ti. IT FITS PERFECTLY.
OK.... weirdness. I tried a different Bk Ti/Plat .... No fit.
My only conclusion is..... The Plat nib is smaller internally than the Gold Ti nib. I'm tempted to run a drill part way into the offending part but this is a custom order due for delivery tomorrow.... so I won't mess with it.
Any comments questions (relevent to the issue) welcome
