I have a TM Ares kit that I have been told to make into a birthday pen due to lock down,

Can anyone tell me what size the bushings are? they say Sierra but only have TM bushings, and it's all been in storage for a year !!!

Thanks in advance.

Yup have to agree with Peter.....I use anything that fits the tube and a pair of calipers if I am not sure:thumbs:
There is a chart on the IAP website that gives all the dimensions on of bushes, but again you'll need calipers to check what you have!

thanks for the replies, I figured Ally found the bushings had left my Sirocco bushings in with the kits but had moved all but these into a box!!!
Pen turned and extra brownie points as it was a birthday gift.
Also really glad to be back to turning pens, haveloadsof mystery gift pens together through now.
