What Bushings??

[jttheclockman]

What bushings are used in making the tops for cartridge pens??? Can there be more than one??? I am assuming the slimline ones. Thanks.

Made only a few cartridge pens, but the standard slimline bushings are too "slim" to match the diameter of the cartridge. I used some bushings from another kit that matched the cartridge diameter. One can also just use a caliper and measure to get the proper diameter for the cartridge. Just go slow and easy towards the end.

The best cartidge pens I've seen use either the Euro for the top portion but a slim nib for the cartridge itself, or the but end of two cartridges for the top.

Look at sylvania pictures and I bet you'll find the second approach.
