    Default Classic Americanna Pen bushings

    I have a Classic Americana pen kit but have misplaced the bushings and drill bit. just wondering if there is another pen bushing that is the same size and the drill bit size. The pen kit is no longer available In Australia according to some suppliers that I have contacted.
    Appreciate any advice.

    The IAP Bushing and Tube app lists an Americana Classic Twist BP. Drill is 11/32" or a letter S. Tube Dia is .338" and 2.17" long. Bushings are .316" (into bushing) and .413" to match the hardware. If you have bushings with smaller hardware diameter you can turn to size with callipers. If you don't have bushings turning between 60º conical centres without bushings and a calliper will get you there. If you click on the little notebook icon it will take you to the instructions for that pen. If you get the app you can type in the bushing diameter and it will show a list of other pens using that dimension on part of the pen. The app also lists other pens under American Classic or Classic American that are different in being clicks, capped etc.
