I just stumbled upon this catalogue/library of pen tubes and bushes and found it quite comprehensive:

Pen Kit Bushings and Tubes (PDF).

Obviously this is made for the U.S. market. Does something like this exist in Australia?

Not that I know of but you can get heaps of stuff off that list and most pens are similar but have different names.
That list has been around for years but gets updated by the owner occasionally.

Cheers Ian

Happy you found this chart. http://content.penturners.org/librar...gsandtubes.pdf This chart is from July of 2010.

I'm presently doing a major update to this chart on Penturners.org adding more suppliers. I don't know the major suppliers from Australia, but would be glad to add any information that could be supplied to me. My guess would be your suppliers are reselling Dayacom, Penn State, Berea or maybe some China imports. Take a look at the chart and I'll be glad to consider any suggestions or comments. Yes it is geared towards English units.
