    Default Streamline/slimline

    Does anyone know if you can replace the slreamline pen clip with a slimline clip?

    You shouldn't have any problems with swaping the clips. They both fit on the same 7mm tube.

    But is the OD size the same ?
    If not then I would have to turn the blank to suite and use the slimline finial as well

    I use the same bush on the clip side for the slimline and the streamline clip, they also fit on the same bullet neck.

    The only difference, size wise, between slimline and streamline is the centre band. In fact the Rizheng Streamline kits are supplied with a slimline clip, the Dayacom Streamlines have a much nicer clip.

    Thank Big Shed It looked different and I do not have my callipers with me. I have to make 100 pens for an international conference and they want the clips engraved but I thought it would be nice to have the Australian fauna and flora on the pens as well. If I can combine the 2 kits it would make a nice pen for them

    The timber is BOW and finished with Shellawax
    The pen clip is from a slimline pen
