Bushing Mystery

[montmill]

I didn't write on the bottle what these bushings were for, can anyone help me?

Measurements were: .540 - .540 - .486 - .450 according to my micrometer. Thanks for helping me out.

I'm not in my shop right now, but from the label looks like it might be Mistral Rollerball/Fountain Pen?

Sounds right.

This can be verified by searching Google using the part number.

Yea... likely the Mistral. Beaufort puts the wear lines on the bushings.

Using Wayne's reference above and consulting the table data which I downloaded at this link (valid only on my computer) :

file:///C:/Users/mgrph/Downloads/FINALIZED%20-%20Beaufort%20Ink%20Kit%20Bushings%20&%20Tubes%206-17-22%20Imperial-1.pdf

gives Mistral FP/RB bushing sizes as 0.535 - 0.535 - 0.482 - 0.447

whereas you state you measured as 0.540 - 0.540 - 0.486 - 0 .450 (all 0.003 to 0.005 larger than the table value sizes

Thank you for your help. My micrometer skills are no doubt questionable, I'm pretty sure that's what it is as I haven't made those kits yet and am unfamiliar. I will check them against the kit and if correct label them as such.
