i purchased some mont blanc style pen kits at friday's show, and supposedly the mont blanc bushes for my mandrel
The bush kit included three bushes, (1) 9mm o/d, (2) 10.35mm o/d with the third having different o/d each end being 10.35mm and 11.35mm
The problem I have is with the pen top section ring. This is bevelled at one end which I assume is the end of the cap section and flat on the other which must butt up to the turned wood on the brass tube. of the top section But none of the bush diameters match the ring diameter (13mm)
So do I sneak up on the correct diameter when turning the pen or am I missing the point somewhere ?
any ideas ?
cheers
