• Cap tube length = 46mm. Recommended drill size = 15/32
• Nib barrel tube length = 65mm. Recommended drill size = 25/64

• The cap finial, centre band, nib connector and nib-barrel finial are all different diameters. If using bushes, identify the two that fit the cap tube - the larger one is for the centre band and the smaller one is for the cap finial. The remaining two fit the nib barrel tube - the larger one is for the nib connector and the smaller one is for the the nib-barrel finial.

• If you have bought a Leveche with an upgraded nib and converter package, the nib is supplied separately to the kit. In the interests of grain alignment, gently screw the nib assembly into the section as the first assembly job. Doing so after pressing the kit together could result in the nib lined up in a place you didn’t intend.

• Also in the interests of grain alignment, note that the cap thread starts in either of two opposite positions.
• By design, the clip gasket is a snug fit on the cap finial, to ensure it does not spin on the assembled cap. Push it onto the finial tenon by hand a short way, and once you are happy with the alignment of the clip in your cap barrel, the finial and clip can be pressed home in one operation.
