Have you noticed the rooky mistake with the jnr.
Now the Question is do I dismantle the cap and hope the threads don't get damaged. I personally want to
redo it. If I do damage the threads do you have spares in stock Dan.

Just leave it - it looks fine. We've all done it, or at least I have anyway.

I'm not sure if Dan has the spare bits or not - in the past he's sent customers to me for such things. Try him first and if not I've got some couplers, but only for the old tube size, not the new at present. I'm not sure from your photo what size tubes yours is.

Anthony on the cap a chrome o ring is missing (should be chrome black chrome)I discovered it after the pen was finished. Phil its the upgrade Jnr and I've also noticed (when I put my specs on, HATE getting auld) there is a slight gap, could try and press it a bit more. Might just help. will let you know what happens when I try.

Well, if you're going to take it apart, you might find that gap a great help. Can't help you with a replacement coupler for the new size I'm afraid. I've got them on order but not due for a couple of weeks yet - sorry.

That's something I don't have any stock of. If Phil has them ordered then his will beat mine. Pen looks lovely.

Very nice blanks indeed Peter, they do look good my friend .. :thumbs:

If you have some punch transfers you can dismantle the pen without damaging the threads .. :thumbs:

well I'm now happy with Jnr pen just pressed it a bit more and lost the gap, so will keep as is. :fingers: Now the new problem, made the others as a pair ( yet another instance where my specs should have been on) the pen is gold/black and the pencil is gold/gunmetal. :sob: Well back to the drawing board :thinks:
