pen kits bushings

[hawkeyefxr]

I have bought a few kits now along with the bushings. Some of the bushings are duplicated for different kits. None of the retailers give bushing sizes though.
The bushing sets have identification like PB123, is there a chart that shows what the difference is between a PB123 to a PB122, or are they just identification numbers for that particular supplier.

I have a hundred I keep in a box when I need anew pair I first match up the brass hole size then check out with calipers the finished size required, then under turn so I can finish turn to calipers clear of the bush. I then pop the instructions and a kit baggie in a sandwich bag with the bushes. Works for me.

Most bushings come with the kit name on the bag...If they don't write it on when you get them .

There were no pens that i have made on the IAP list unfortunately. When you buy a new kit there are no sizes mentioned which makes it difficult to know if you in fact do have bushing already.
Some bushings come in small square push together see through tubes (think i will look for these). I will then mark them up

Yep they're the ones Phil, had a quick look around on the web but could not get the description right. Will also look for sample bottles lol.......new

 

[Phil Dart]

I have them in stock Ken, but they're not on the website. They're 99p each, but because they are bulky they have to be sent as a small parcel which costs about £3 - which is why they're not on the website. The good news is though that I can get up to 40 in the parcel for the same postage cost, so if you would like any, PM me your details and I will organise it for you. They are the same boxes that the Mistral bushes are supplied in.

Yep they are the ones Phil

I thought it only happened to me.
