Thread: "" fountain pen""

Closest I have ever seen is using a converter in a cartridge pen. I have seen some people on the web who pull apart the lever fillers and re-use the bits in custom designs, but that is a whole level beyond what we do with kits.

All the kits will take a screw converter to run quality bulk ink. The smaller ones take the small and the larger kits take a large converter

Old type bladders can be sourced from http://www.pensacs.com/

I think they may even fit the kits but I can't confirm that

Thanks Sam
I have used the converters but want to make a lever refill type if this is possible .
As usual the customer wants what you don't have but I said I will try
I seem to remember a post on this some time ago but I can't seem to find any thing

Graham, I have this type of sac, the brass spring pushes in and on release sucks up ink, however, the actual lever mechanism I do not know. Amos

jump over to this forum...someone there might have an ideas. i found the site while researching some resoration of couple old fountain pens. They use a sack, "J" bar and lever for filling. I think you could adapt a nib to fit the sack an the "J" bar is a "J" shaped piece of brass. The trick will be fitting the lever to the housing. have some ideas on how it can be done...will ponder and get a post back here...What material are you considering?

The Fountain Pen Network

Tough to find stuff like that....also not very reliable...sac fillers will perish over time..All I can think of is another forum on fountain pens (above).

I've never seen any mechanisms for wooden fountains that would entertain a piston filler....Guys...do these exist???
