Hi and Welcome to the forum.


As Mark Explained above.  great list of bushes and pen kits on the IAP website.  but be aware they still use the old currency of imperial 99% of the time.. :rolling:


I guess it must be a nightmare trying to get pen kits, never mind bushes.




You will find that there are only a few that use the same bushes, the Sierra pen kit is one such kit. Some kit suppliers will state "sierra bushes" (Or bushings if you are in the USA:rolling:)


Slimline bushes are usually  the same size, however I have seen very slight differences with some suppliers so I tend to replace when I change kit supplier or need to re-stock pen kits.




I treat the bushes as a disposable item, like sandpaper so I usually buy new when I buy a batch of kits and add that cost in the manufacturing process to final product cost. You should get around 30 pen kits out of a set of bushes easily.  so if you put that in to price perspective to the kits you can see where I am coming from.


I have plastic bottles with the bushes in labeled up to suit each pen kit.
