Alternate nibs for a TWSBI Mini/Classic

[RoyMoh]

This is my first post here, so I am not sure this is the correct place for this.

TWSBI Classic that has an EF nib that I damaged, I like the pen though and I understand it has a #4 nib. But I have never really liked any Jowo nib I am not all that into getting a new nib from TWSBI, especially since replacing the nib on the TWSBI Classic requires fitting the nib into the section.

I am interested to know what other pens have #4 nibs? I have fiddled with pens for a some time but only recently did it occur to me that I could swap parts from other manufacturers.

So first where can I acquire a good #4 nib?

Second what other pens have a #4?

and finally does it have to be a #4 to work?

Thanks.

I thought it was a #5 nib.

Philip Wang at TWSBI informed me by email last night that it was a #4.

However if a #5 works that is interesting.

ok. The nibs come in their collars, anyway. So it is the collar that has to fit, foremost. I have not put other nib units in my TWSBI Mini. But I have put my TWSBI nib unit on a Sheaffer True Writer.

That is the issue, to install a new nib on my TWSBI Classic I will have to swap the nib, and possibly feed, because the TWSBI sells only the mini feed holder/collar which doesn't fit or match the Classic, though they share a nib.

If you don't get any suggestions here, try over at FPN. They have a nib-swapping thread and list.

Which you will have some trouble to find as, for some unknown reason, repeated calls to pin the thread have been ignored.

Here is one helpful thread over at FPN. http://www.fountainpennetwork.com/fo...-in-nib-units/

Not particularly organized, but a good bit of information.
