(I see this was an issue years ago too)

I purchase 5 Vista pen kits at Exotic Blanks. Their web site said 50A bushings yet the PDF file date 2006 on their web page said 70A. I contact E-B and was told 50A but they are back ordered for about 3-weeks. I find another source Arizona Silhouette that had the 50A in stock so I bought them. Well, the 50A from A-S had four bushings that fit in tubes either 0.450" dia (ends=0.547"/0.606") or 0.500" tube (ends=0.618"/0.666") WAY too big for my pens. If you search the 50A at A-S it indeed shows 4 bushings in the picture. I call A-S and they answered the phone at 7:30PM! They say I need 70A bushings and will send them out right away. I search a little further and on Bereahardwoods.com a PDF dated 2009 shows 50A. So I'm totally confused.

Any help appreciated

They each use a different number. The 50a is correct but the 50a at AS is for the ElToro and El Presidente.
