TM Kappa needs help

[Tiny James]

Yes well I don't know if it can be fixed but here is todays offering

A nice pen and a lovely looking blank this was to be a gift for my brother-in-law but I think it's going in the bin

You can take it apart using transfer punches. The plastic thread inserts will probably need replacing but just contact Dan, tell him what happened and he'll probably send you new ones.

Good luck mate it has promise.

As Neil suggested James, disassemble it and replace the plastic. It would have been a beauty (it still can be.)

Pierrre your my hero thank you for the link I will get some punches.
Just one question how would you hold the barrel without damaging the acrylic and will the acrylic and tube resume there original shape ?

I am sorry to ask and I am sure I am not the only person ..... to the untrained eye I cant see anything wrong with it.
Please can you explain where the fault is ?

 

[Pierre]

Sorry I thought the acrylic was cracked if its not and all I can see is a bit of overturning towards the nib section, whats really wrong with the pen?

 

[alpha1]

I can not see anything wrong with it either. What is the problem with it.

 

[Tiny James]

The pen is not cracked it's just flared at the section connecting thread.

Thank you all for the advice and help

Personally I hold the barrel in my hand and give the transfer punch a good whack (or 3) on the bench it normally works; (keep the punch in the barrel with your little finger and remove it as you impact) however some kits are a good fit then its buy another kit and start again.

The time has come as the Walrus said to think this through,personally I could live with the flare as it is an attractive pen with a small departure from the normal.
