I wanted to make some Flashlight pens for some coworkers out of acrylic that would hold up a little better to our use. The Berea kit is actually a nice little kit, but only comes in Gold. That finish did not work for my application. The great thing about the kit is that the plastic part can be removed which allows one to powdercoat the fittings. So black they became.
Also, it should be noted for those of you that turn the El Grande pen. I did not want to buy the bushing as I was only planning on making two of these kits. The El Grande lower tube bushings are a nice substitute. Bushing to bushing a great fit.
Here are the parts spread out:
On my PC rack. Note that the blue tape you see is special high temp PC powder tape:
The completed pen:
