Hi All,

To answer some of the points.
I did spot the error in the title but was to late to correct it. I'm aware it has to be 6.5x0.5.
I guess from the comments that this is the only place to buy it from if you want to use Jowo nibs and beware any import duties etc. I've managed to have some items from the states delivered without such issues
All the rest of the threads can be whatever you like. I happen to have a few BSB taps and dies which are 26tpi and so probably OK for cap/body and probably section to body at least.

So let me change this all around.
I would like to make kitless pens. What good quality nib units are available ie what do you guys use, and are the fitting kit ie taps etc available.

Cheers

Inky
