These are made using what I think is the P9 kit....they are a Click Mechanism and I have used 7mm tubes. For some reason the mechanism will not work properly. can anyone assist me in repairing them: I make the following observations;

1...I am not sure whether the overall length is critical [no instructions]
2...I have checked that the smaller 'end' of the spring is at the tip end.
3....tried several spare refills.

Regards...George

I am guessing these use a "cross" type refill, check that the refill fits through the nib end as sometimes the small hole closes slightly when being pressed into the tube :) simply ream it out so the refill fits (approx 2.5 mm drill ) Length of tubes is critical ,but shorter tubes will simply mean the refill pokes out a bit more than expected, and sometimes won't retract completely leaving the refill exposed , refill can have a small amount cut off the end to compensate, but it means future refills will need the same treatment :( cheers ~John
