Help needed, what kit is this?
As the title says. I got given these kits and need to ID them for the obvious reason. The tubes OD is 9.69mm. Further, where do I get bushings?

It's a bit hard to see the detail of the fittings through the crinkly plastic.
Is that a blank stripe on the clip ?
How long are the tubes ? Are the two tubes identical ?
I'm not familiar with that kit but that doesn't mean a great deal. In my relatively short time with pens I have found styling and fitment of older kits may vary from newer ones even though make and model are the same.

Looks Like an Americana rollerball , as well as the ID of the tubes you will need the OD of the fittings most likely all the same ,I would think the threaded part on the cap is not needed as that is used in the fountain pen for a plastic insert that is used for the pen to clip together, if it all screws together then that is a different matter ,the americana also has "O" rings to seal the threads when in use . good luck with it ,there are tables of bushing sizes available ,but I forget where
Cheers ~ JohnG'day all !Enjoy your stay !!!

The bag says Dayacom Taiwan, the insert is "Hauser bill 707se". I think the Carbatec comment is worth chasing. There were other Carbatec bits in the bag of stuff. Thx!

Kit ID
Am 99% certain they are the Carbatec "Parker" pen. SWMBO has made several, nice looking pen but there is no liner to the cap and it scratches the section and top piece quickly !!

Thank you everyone. I was wondering about the cap as well Tangoman, maybe a lick of latex?

You dont need bushings if you turn between centres.

Lick of latex, Ooh errr !
Mate, that might work but will wear off at some point and you are back at square one. I suggest you turn them and keep them in your pocket as conversation starters !
Personally I would throw them in the bin as they get marked too quickly, fwiw !
have fun and keep on turning,
Cam
