Hi All,

Eventually I want to make kitless pens and I'm looking ahead.
If I use Jowo #5 nibs I need a 6.5 x.5 tap. These seem to only available from Silverpenpart at $30 + $15 carriage. That's £26 in real money.

Is there anywhere else these can be bought from that would save the 50% carriage charge. I know with the $->£ (1.7-> £) it's a good time to buy but they're still a tad expensive on carriage plus the risk of tax on entry to to the UK.

Cheers

Andy

PS This has probably been asked before. I did a search for 6.5 in this section but nothing came up.
