Ok so I sat down last night and finally made the video on how to do the Bulb filler conversion on the Kaweco Sport.

dcpritch came up with this brilliant idea and figured out the sac size too. I just made a quick video of it to share. Enjoy the video but if you like the idea and how well it works send your thanks to dcpritch! :thumbup:

Very nice for those who want to have more ink capacity but not fuss with an eyedropper. It's a bulb filler conversion for your Kaweco Sport!

Hmmmm...The carbon all sports now seem much more appealing ;)!!

If I were to do this, I'd use a silicone sac.

Hey Fountainpenkid,

Can you recommend a source for silicone sacs?

Thanks!

After realising i can't convert my Kaweco AL Sport into an eyedropper (or even use a convertor) i was a bit disappointed, now i have a decent solution.. Thanx!

Heres a couple of quick pics.
I cleaned up most of the shallac off the end after I took the photo.

You can see in the second pic your able to now see how much ink you have left. I did not fill it all the way so you could see it better. It can out pretty clear in the pic so zoom in for the details.

..... Project is now complete. VERY happy with these sacs from David Nishimura.

Nice to see! That looks great! If I get to see a AC sport in person, I might just pick one up!
